SUMMARY: A First Warning Weather Alert is in effect for tomorrow night, with severe storms expected, including gusty winds and a low chance of weak, short-lived tornadoes. While a line of storms will move through Southeast Louisiana late Saturday night into early Sunday, the tornado threat is minimal and short-lived. Heavy rain and gusty winds are the primary threats. The North Shore could experience storms as early as 6 PM, with New Orleans around midnight. After the storms, cooler temperatures and north winds will bring a potential freeze Monday morning. Another cold front and storm are expected by Tuesday night.

SUMMARY: A Delta Airlines plane crashed and overturned while landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport, with all 80 passengers safely evacuating, though 18 sustained injuries. The cause is under investigation, but pilot Steve Thompson suspects winter weather and ice buildup may have been factors. This incident is the fourth aviation accident this year, following a deadly mid-air collision near Washington, D.C., that killed 67. Travelers at MSY are feeling anxious about air travel safety. The crash coincides with the Trump administration’s firing of hundreds of FAA employees, raising concerns about understaffing’s impact on aviation safety.
