A line of rain and storms is moving across Louisiana and Mississippi Wednesday morning and will be the first chance of significant rain we have seen in quite some time.

Look for a threat of strong wind gusts and an isolated tornado as storms move through, especially along and north of I-12.

Temperatures stay mild through Sunday but then cool down big time by early next week.
