Natchitoches Weather Cancels Krewe Of Dionysus Parade February 19, 2012

Natchitoches Weather Cancels Krewe Of Dionysus Parade February 19, 2012

A very rainy Saturday caused cancellation of the Natchitoches Krewe of Dionysus Mardi Gras Parade that was to be held on Saturday, Feb. 18, 2012.   This is the first cancellation of the parade that has been held since 1999.

An strong upper low pressure system tracking near Dallas, TX and low pressure along Louisiana southwest coast caused a heavy rainfall event in Natchitoches Parish on Feb. 18 with rainfall amounts approaching 2 inches in some locations.

Natchitoches'  Krewe of Happy Tails  parade was cancelled for  Sat., Feb. 18 but was held at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 19 under a partly cloudy sky.  The temperature at 2 p.m. was 58° at downtown Natchitoches with a northwest wind at 10 m.p.h.

Here are some pics from the parade event:

The weather was near perfect for this parade event.
