IT WAS A SUPER SOAKER THIS MORNING. IT\u2019S GRAY AND GLOOMY OVER THE CITY RIGHT NOW, BUT NO REAL RAINFALL AT THE MOMENT. LET ME SHOW YOU THIS PICTURE THAT WE GOT EARLIER FROM ROBYN. LOOK AT THIS. THIS WAS CHAUVIN THAT WAS RUNNING 10 TO 15IN OF RAIN BELOW AVERAGE FOR THE YEAR TODAY. WE MADE UP FOR THAT DROUGHT AND GOT A TON OF RAINFALL DOWN THE BAYOU. HERE\u2019S A LOOK AT SOME OF THE RAINFALL AMOUNTS THAT WE SAW. AND AGAIN IT WAS PRETTY LOCALIZED IN LOWER PARTS OF LAFOURCHE AND TERREBONNE PARISH, WHERE AGAIN, HOUMA AT THE REGIONAL AIRPORT ONLY SAW ABOUT AN INCH AND A HALF OF RAIN A FEW MILES TO THE SOUTH, THE BULL\u2019S EYE OF 4 TO 7IN OF RAIN. GALLIANO TOWARDS LAROSE AND GOLDEN MEADOW, ANYWHERE BETWEEN 1 TO 3IN OF RAIN. VERY BENEFICIAL, BUT A LOT OF RAIN IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME DID CAUSE SOME LOCALIZED FLOODING ISSUES. RIGHT NOW, THE RADAR PICTURE IS NOT SHOWING A WIDESPREAD SMATTERING OF RAIN. IT\u2019S KIND OF SPOTTY, HIT AND MISS ACROSS THE AREA. HEAVIEST RAIN AGAIN HAS BEEN IN PARTS OF LOWER TERREBONNE AND LAFOURCHE PARISH. MOST OF THAT IS NOW MOVING OVER COASTAL WATERS, SOME LIGHT SPRINKLES MOVING IN TO BARATARIA AND LAFITTE IN THE METRO AREA. NOT A WHOLE LOT RIGHT NOW, BUT JUST TO THE WEST OF THE AIRPORT IS WHERE WE\u2019VE GOT A COUPLE OF DOWNPOURS. ALSO JUST SOUTH OF RIVER RIDGE AND WAGGAMAN. WE\u2019VE GOT A LONE LITTLE SHOWER THAT\u2019S LIFTING NORTH, SO THAT\u2019S GOING TO BE THE TREND TODAY. KIND OF HIT AND MISS. MAYBE A FLICK ON THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FOR A MINUTE OR TWO AND THEN THE RAIN MOVES ON. THAT\u2019S WHAT WE\u2019VE GOT GOING ON ON THE NORTH SHORE, SOUTHERN PARTS OF TANGIPAHOA PARISH. PRETTY NICE THUNDERSTORM NOW FIRING UP RIGHT NEAR MIDDENDORF\u2019S IN MANCHAC. THIS IS LIFTING NORTH, SO HEADS UP HAMMOND PONCHATOULA SOME LOCALIZED DOWNPOURS HEADED YOUR WAY THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON. MORE OF THE SAME. THIS IS OUR HIGH RES FUTURECAST MODEL AND YOU CAN SEE THAT NOT EVERYONE IS GOING TO SEE THE RAINFALL, BUT SOME LOCALIZED HEAVY DOWNPOURS POSSIBLE. MOST OF THE RAIN WILL COME TO AN END BY 8 TO 9 P.M., AND THEN WE DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN TOMORROW MORNING. SOME COASTAL SHOWERS AND STORMS BEFORE DAYBREAK, AND THEN THE RAIN BEGINS TO MOVE INLAND. THIS PARTICULAR FORECAST MODEL SHOWS SOME HEAVIER RAIN POSSIBLE IN THE METRO AREA. WOULDN\u2019T BE SURPRISED THAT UNDERNEATH SOME OF THESE CELLS, WE COULD SEE A QUICK 1 TO 2 PLUS INCHES OF RAIN. SO HEADS UP, NOT WIDESPREAD, KIND OF ALL DAY RAIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, BUT A PRETTY STAGNANT WEATHER PATTERN. WE\u2019VE GOT HIGH PRESSURE TO THE EAST. THAT\u2019S KEEPING US WITH THAT ONSHORE FLOW. SO IT FEELS WAY MORE MUGGY. AND THAT MUGGINESS IS GOING TO TRANSLATE TO RAIN CHANCES TOMORROW, CALLING FOR A 50 TO 60% CHANCE FOR RAIN. SIMILAR FORECAST. BASICALLY DAY IN AND DAY OUT AHEAD OF EASTER WEEKEND. SATURDAY LOOKS A BIT DRIER, BUT BY SUNDAY WE\u2019VE GOT A FRONT THAT\u2019S GOING TO GET NEARBY. THAT MAY GIVE US SOME MORE WIDESPREAD RAIN CHANCES. YOU CAN SEE AS WE GO THROUGH FRIDAY, KIND OF SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS. BUT THERE COMES THE FRONT THAT RANDI COULD GIVE US A BUMP UP IN RAIN CHANCES, LOOKING AT 1 TO 3IN OF RAIN THROUGH EASTER SUNDAY. BUT YEAH, A LOT OF RAIN ICONS. WE LIKE TO SEE IT, BUT NOT WHEN WE HAVE SO MANY OUTDOOR PLANS. RANDI I KNOW, START PREPARING THE INDOOR EASTER HUNTS JUST AS\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>New Orleans Saints have been granted international marketing rights in Italy<\/p>\n<p>This expansion represents the Saints\u2019 second international territory within the initiative, following the designation of France in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/italy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/wdsu.png\" class=\"lazyload lazyload-in-view branding\" alt=\"WDSU logo\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\tUpdated: 2:47 PM CDT Mar 30, 2026\n\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wdsu.com\/article\/hearst-television-news-policy-statements\/14471973\" class=\"editorial-standards border-left\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Editorial Standards \u24d8<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThe New Orleans Saints have been granted international marketing rights in Italy, marking the country as the newest addition to the NFL\u2019s Global Markets Program.
