Washington Parish and Bogalusa city schools have announced that school will be closed tomorrow, January 29, as an arctic blast of winter weather arrives, WWL-TV reports and Tangipahoa Parish schools will have a two-hour delay.

A cold front could bring snow, sleet, and freezing conditions to the region starting overnight tonight. It could lead to dangerous driving conditions north of Lake Pontchartrain.


"After midnight, rain chances increases to 90 percent for showers and we'll see the front approach our area by the morning commute," said WWL-TV chief meteorologist Carl Arredondo. "Temperatures should start off in the 40s, but quickly fall to the 30s once the front moves through." 

Some of this rain could change into sleet or even snow. 

"A little accumulation may happen in northern Tangipahoa and northern Washington Parises during the morning hours," Arredondo said.
