Gordon Weakens to Depression as it Heads North

09/05/2018

Tropical Storm Gordon, which made landfall on the Alabama coast Tuesday night, has had minimal impact to Entergy Louisiana customers so far, but the storm still has the potential to affect our Northeast Louisiana customers.  The storm no longer poses a threat to customers in the rest of Louisiana.

Although Gordon weakened to a tropical depression as it moved across Mississippi today, it still has the potential to bring heavy rain and winds to parts of Northeast Louisiana. It is expected to move into Arkansas tonight through early Friday, where several inches of rain could cause flooding.

We continue monitoring this storm and remain prepared to respond to any power outages.
