The National Weather Service reissued its flood warning for Baton Rouge and the River Parishes area Tuesday (Aug. 16), extending the warning area downriver to include part of LaPlace along Interstate 10 and part of Reserve. The new warning is in effect until 3 p.m.

"This is primarily for the northern reaches of LaPlace."
