Letlow is likely to keep 5th Congressional District in GOP hands | Louisiana
SUMMARY: In Louisiana‘s 5th Congressional District, incumbent U.S. Rep. Julia Letlow, a Republican, is favored to win the upcoming Nov. 5 election. Letlow succeeded her late husband in 2021 and won re-election in 2022, facing less competition this time with only one challenger from each party. Republican M.V. Mendoza, a former independent candidate and U.S. Air Force veteran, criticizes Letlow’s record, claiming she has failed to address rising costs for families. Meanwhile, Democrat Michael Vallien Jr. has not reported any campaign activity. Letlow boasts a significant campaign fund of $1.85 million.

Morning Forecast – Monday, Oct. 21st
SUMMARY: Today‘s weather features clear, cool, and calm conditions with morning temperatures in the low to mid-40s. A jacket is advisable for early outings, though afternoon highs are expected to reach the lower 80s, transitioning into t-shirt weather. A persistent upper-level ridge is keeping the area dry, limiting rain prospects despite nearby disturbances. Drought conditions remain with moderate to severe levels affecting South Arkansas and parts of Louisiana, along with issued burn bans. An active tropical storm, Oscar, is moving away from the continental U.S. with no threat to the area. Overall, pleasant weather continues throughout the week.
Dry conditions will continue today as high pressure takes hold just to the north. Dry fuels and low dewpoints will support the ongoing fire danger for south Arkansas and parts of north Louisiana. Winds will remain calm and will shift southerly by Wednesday. High pressure will move off to the east, and a weak front will arrive on Thursday. However, this front may stall north of the ArkLaMiss and weaken which diminishes any chance of rain. Temperatures will also range well above average in the mid and upper 80’s. Dry weather seems to prevail this week and into the weekend.
