Entergy New Orleans and Entergy Louisiana employees and contractors are closely monitoring the progress of Potential Tropical Cyclone 6 in the lower Gulf of Mexico and are preparing for the potential development of a tropical system that could impact South Louisiana midweek.
Hurricane season starts Saturday, June 1, and experts predict another active season.
Crews and contractors are assessing damages and working quickly to restore power where it is safe to do so. As of 11 a.m., approximately 73,100 customers in Louisiana were without power as the system was still impacting most of the state with the potential of more weather moving in behind it.
Following the four-day winter weather event impacting our service area, the majority of our customers have been restored.
Very cold temperatures, icing and snow have swept across parts of our service area.
Winter weather in our service area has arrived, bringing snow, icing and cold temperatures to some areas. After the frozen precipitation moves out overnight tonight, we will see an extended period of extremely low temperatures in all four states we serve.
Some parts of our service area may see snow, ice, or freezing rain beginning this afternoon. This will be followed by an extended period of very low temperatures in all four states we serve.
Even as Entergy employees continue to respond to outages caused by widespread severe thunderstorms, our workers are prepared to respond to another major winter event across our service.
