JUST IN: Hurricane Watches issued along the southern coast of Louisiana as severe weather moves in.
States of emergency were declared in New Orleans and Louisiana overall on Wednesday as a hurricane watch threatens the state's southern coast.
"This is going to be a Louisiana event with coastal flooding and widespread, heavy rainfall potentially impacting every part of the state," Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards said in a statement."No one should take this storm lightly. As we know all too well in Louisiana, low intensity does not necessarily mean low impact."
New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell added,"New Orleans may experience more widespread localized severe flooding and gale force winds that could result in the endangerment and threat of life, injury and possible property damage."
