As a triple-threat storm system approaches central and southern US, Mardi Gras celebrations in Louisiana are facing significant disruptions. The National Weather Service has issued high wind warnings, prompting New Orleans and Jefferson Parish to cancel or reschedule various parades due to safety concerns. While some parades, including the iconic Zulu and Rex, are still expected to roll, many festivities have been shortened or altered to avoid the impacts of severe weather. The anticipation of strong winds and potential tornadoes has led to all-day weather alerts, significantly affecting the Fat Tuesday celebrations. Despite the challenges posed by the weather, the spirit of Mardi Gras remains as residents adapt their plans for costumes and revelry amidst the looming storm.
