NEW ORLEANS – Louisiana is bracing for yet another hurricane.

Hurricane Delta will be hitting the western part of the state on Friday. Then, the storm will move inland bringing rain to much of the Southeast.

The devastating Category 3 storm is expected to make a likely landfall by Friday evening somewhere along the southwest Louisiana coast, with devastating 120 mph winds.

As Delta churned north-northwest at 12 mph on Thursday night, the National Hurricane Center had a hurricane warning in place for the Gulf Coast extending from High Island, Texas, to Morgan City, Louisiana.

It marked the sixth time this season that Louisiana has been threatened by tropical storms or hurricanes. One fizzled at the southeast Louisiana tip and others veered elsewhere but Tropical Storm Cristobal caused damage in southeast Louisiana in June. And Laura demolished much of the southwestern part of the state on Aug. 27, causing more than 30 deaths.

For Danville, Delta will bring a soggy weekend, with rain in the forecast both Saturday and Sunday.
