LAFAYETTE, La. — All flights resumed at Lafayette Regional Airport starting at 10 a.m. following the aftermath of Hurricane Francine. The storm affected numerous cities and parishes across Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida.

Francine was classified as a Category 2 hurricane on Wednesday evening but weakened as it moved inland.

The airport had canceled all flights on Wednesday, both arriving and departing, before Francine reached the coast. See below all departing and arriving flights that are back on. [Click here for latest Lafayette Regional Airport arrivals and departures.]

KATC TV3 Meteorologist Daniel Phillips said lingering clouds from Francine will clear through the day on Thursday and sunshine will eventually start to emerge.

A steady breeze from the north will help push in some drier air and relatively cool conditions are expected with highs just getting to the low 80s.

The northerly winds will help push tides back a little but expect there to still be some minor coastal flooding through the day, but returning to normal by the weekend.

Flooding in Bayou Vista.
