As Tropical Storm Barry approaches Louisiana, some towns and cities are imposing curfews for the public's safety.

We should remind you, even though your town or city does not enforce a curfew, it is best to stay off of the roads this weekend. We are expecting flooding and wind damage throughout much of Acadiana.

Barry is expected to make landfall Saturday morning (July 13) near St. Mary Parish.

We will continue to update this list as we get notifications from authorities or from our media partners at KATC-TV 3.
