The threat of flooding rains in the New Orleans area overnight Saturday into Sunday morning is forcing New Orleans city leaders to allow neutral ground parking until that threat ends.
According to the city government’s Streetwise notification system, drivers may park their cars in the neutral ground effective immediately and until 10 a.m. Sunday morning. Officials say they’re making this allowance because heavy rain could cause street flooding in low-lying areas.
The National Weather Service in Slidell says the New Orleans metro area is at a marginal risk of isolated severe thunderstorms through Sunday morning.
