Severe Weather in Louisiana & the South – Potential Shipping Delays This Week

Due to severe winter weather impacting the southern United States, including Louisiana, customers may experience temporary shipping and delivery delays this week and into the weekend.

A strong winter weather system is moving across the region, bringing dangerously cold temperatures, freezing rain, and icy road conditions to areas that typically do not see winter precipitation. These conditions can impact ground transportation, air freight, and local carrier operations.

📍 Areas Potentially Affected

The following areas may see weather-related disruptions:

• North Louisiana / Ark-La-Tex (Shreveport, Bossier City, surrounding areas)

• Central Louisiana (Alexandria and nearby regions)

• I-10 Corridor (Lafayette, Baton Rouge)

• South Louisiana (Lake Charles to New Orleans, depending on storm track)

Icy roads, reduced visibility, and freezing temperatures may cause delayed pickups, rerouted shipments, and extended delivery times, especially for ground services.

📦 How This May Impact Orders & Deliveries

Due to safety concerns and operational adjustments by shipping carriers, customers may experience:

• Delayed delivery dates

• Slower package movement through carrier hubs

• Temporary suspension of pickups or deliveries in certain areas

• Extended transit times for ground and air shipments

While orders will continue to be processed, carrier networks may experience delays beyond our control.
