SUMMARY: U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy has released a report highlighting significant issues with the national flood insurance program, revealing that premiums in Louisiana have surged by over 200%. This dramatic rise led to approximately 52,000 residents dropping their flood coverage. Among his recommendations, Cassidy proposed capping premium increases and urged FEMA to reconsider its Risk Rating 2.0 policy to alleviate the financial burden on policyholders.

SUMMARY: Around late October and early November, there is potential for tropical development, though it won’t directly impact our area. October 28th marks the anniversary of Hurricane Zeta, a significant storm that hit Port Fourchon. While this new system is unlikely to replicate that event, it’s vital to monitor the Caribbean islands as we move into next week. Locally, we finally expect some rain after a prolonged dry spell, with gusty winds increasing wildfire risk. Showers are forecasted for Halloween; it won’t be a washout, but it’s wise to have a backup plan for trick-or-treating.

No impacts are expected along the Gulf Coast for the next week
