SUMMARY: On this rainy Sunday, a weather impact is expected with passing showers, especially for those heading to the Saints game. Coastal flooding is a concern due to persistent east winds. Moisture from the weakening storm Raphael and a stalled front are causing intermittent rainfall, with heavier showers likely in coastal areas. A 60% chance of rain persists throughout the day and into the evening. While isolated flooding risks exist, particularly southwest, the overall threat remains low. The week ahead sees continued rain chances, especially on Wednesday, with drier and cooler conditions expected by the weekend.

Signs point to a drop in temps and humidity late next week.

SUMMARY: Louisiana has concluded a historic tax reform session, with lawmakers passing Governor Jeff Landry’s tax package. This measure will reduce individual income taxes by over $1 billion while raising the sales tax to 5% to offset lost revenue, generating an additional $845 million. Royce Duplessis was the only senator to oppose the bill. While the session aimed to achieve broader tax goals, some initiatives were left unaddressed. Notably, the new tax measures will include taxes on digital services and goods, such as streaming services. The reforms aim to align Louisiana’s tax system with neighboring states and enhance competitiveness.
