Saturday AM Forecast: Elevated rain chances this weekend, Flood Watch for some

UPDATE – 1:50 p.m. Saturday: The National Weather Service has issued a FLOOD WATCH for East Feliciana, Pointe Coupee, and West Feliciana Parishes as well as, Amite and Wilkinson Counties through Sunday morning. An axis of heavy rain has already set up in central Louisiana and may clip the parishes listed above into the night. The potential is there for up to 2-4″ of rain in the watch area. The Baton Rouge metro is purposefully not included in the watch as the majority of the rain should fall to the northwest. Storms are still possible in Baton Rouge on Saturday afternoon and evening, but on a more scattered basis. Rain gear is a good idea for any outdoor plans, including the LSU and Southern home games.
