LAFAYETTE, LA (KADN) — A slow moving storm system passing through south Louisiana has created the potential for flash flooding. The threat has even prompted the closure of some area schools.

The St. Mary, St. Martin Parish, and St. Bernard Parish schools have canceled classes for Wednesday. So far no other closures have been reported.
