The Iberia Parish Office of Homeland Security & Emergency Preparedness is monitoring a strong Canadian cold front that has moved through our area late Sunday night into early Monday morning.

What to Expect:

  • Gusty Winds: Strong north winds will bring much colder air by Monday afternoon.
  • Freezing Temps: Temperatures will drop into the lower 30s on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings.
  • Wind Chill: “Feels like” temperatures will dip into the upper 20s.

Important Note: NO precipitation is expected while temperatures are at or below freezing.

Take Action – Protect the 4 P’s: We urge all residents to take standard cold-weather precautions on Monday and Tuesday nights. Remember to protect:

  1. PEOPLE: Check on the elderly and ensure your heating sources are safe.
  2. PETS: Bring outdoor animals inside or provide warm, insulated shelter.
  3. PLANTS: Cover or move sensitive tropical vegetation.
  4. PIPES: Insulate exposed pipes and faucets to prevent freezing.

Stay safe, stay warm, and stay informed. We’ll continue to monitor and share updates as needed.
