Hurricane Francine continues to track toward landfall along the Louisiana coastline by Wednesday evening.
Francine was recently upgraded to a category 2 and is expected to move across Louisiana on a northeastern track, bringing heavy rains and winds to New Orleans and the Mississippi Coast as it heads inland.
As schools and businesses close and curfews are put in place, folks are hunkering in with their storm supplies while keeping an eye on the weather through news alerts and updates.
But if you also want a live look at the sky as the storm travels without leaving the safety of home, there are several webcams that offer glimpses of current conditions in the area.

The best way to check on live views of the Coast is through the WXXV camera network from our media partner.
