If you’re headed to the parade this weekend, keep your eyes up AND your hands ready 👀🎭

Big thanks to for letting Acadian Life Promotions help them cover the parade route in style. Catch one flying your way this weekend! 💚🎉

Keep your eyes peeled this weekend 👀💛

These bright yellow Jim Taylor Auto Group cups are hitting the Krewe of Janus parade route, and they’re hard to miss. If you’re out catching throws, make sure you snag one (or two) — perfect for parade day and way too good to leave behind.
Big thanks to Jim Taylor Auto Group for letting Acadian Life Promotions help bring some extra fun to the route. See y’all at the parade! 🎭🎉

There is a standard in business and an expectation for greatness that we all are after. Chief Meteorologist Jarod Floyd is the standard in the field of weather. He is second to none and we are glad he is here in NELA! Thank you Jarod for all you do. TLDR: Jarod is the best.

MEET YOUR METEOROLOGIST

A lot of new folks have found The Digital Weather Desk in the last two weeks, so I take an opportunity every so often to introduce myself.

My name is Jarod Floyd, and I'm the owner/founder of The Digital Weather Desk... a digital weather platform that serves northern Louisiana, southern Arkansas, and western Mississippi.

This platform provides daily weather forecasts, extensive breaking weather coverage, and other weather-related content. This content is provided 100% free to you, made possible through partnerships with local businesses. We have an app that is free to download, and also partner with WeatherCall NexGen to provide additional alert options during severe weather events. Links to download the app and more information on WeatherCall can be found at digitalweatherdesk.com.

I've lived in Ouachita Parish since 2004, and I'm a graduate of the University of Louisiana-Monroe (B.S. Atmospheric Science, 2006). Prior to launching The Digital Weather Desk, I spent two decades in local broadcast television.

Not all weather sources are created equal, and they often have very different end goals in mind.

This platform is operated as a community service. It's designed to deliver timely, clear-headed, responsible weather information.

This platform issues actual forecasts. It does NOT regurgitate raw model data to solicit clicks and shares.

On a personal note, I'm part of this community. Weather impacts our day to day. It impacts our economy... especially our local, small businesses. Exaggerated, overdramatized forecasts can do legitimate harm. They also create distrust in the weather community.

I also know how many pages are out there with BIG BOLD HEADLINES, showing you brightly colored maps, and warning you of THE NEXT BIG STORM. I'm also aware of how much those pages love to beat their chest when they're the "first ones" to tell you about a system. A broken clock is right twice a day. And, when a lot of those sites are reminded of their blown forecasts, they hide behind the fact that "it was never an official forecast". Convenient, right?

If you're expecting me to be the "first" to always tell you about a significant weather event, you're going to be disappointed here. However, if you're expecting me to walk you through every detail of an event before, during, and after in a responsible manner... you're in the right spot.

If you're just finding this page for the first time, my family and I are glad you're here. If you've followed me or watched my forecasts since you were a little kid, please stop phrasing it that way because it makes my joints ache... but, it means a lot.

If you appreciate what goes on here, please let our local business partners know and consider using their services when needed. They make all of this possible.

Electrical Cowboys of DTE out of Detroit!☀️

We met a literal band of brothers tonight - The Electrical Cowboys of DTE out of Detroit. They’re here in our town restoring power and sought us out!!! US!!! 🔆🙏🏽
They wanted to know “Who is TB? Who is Tarver Braddock?” Obviously many people had talked about it, but thankful that Heidi and Joey Roberson reached out and connected them to us. Holly and Brian took them some merch, but they wanted to meet, so we went to their staging area and they wanted to give us a donation and asked for us to talk about Tarver. We laughed, talked, cried, and we prayed. It was beautiful. So thankful for these opportunities to talk about Tarver and thankful for the signs that cause people to ask. 🔆🔆Thank you always to our people.🔆🔆
Thank you, DTE… you deserve the donation and recognition !!!! Your kind hearts are seen. Your hard work and sacrifice is appreciated. The best part was them telling us “We heard Tarver would’ve made a hell of a lineman.” Now, that’s a fact.
If you see them, please say thank you … for many reasons. 💛💛💛💛 Lord, protect this crew.🙏🏽
