The Louisiana State Mesonet team was on site Tuesday at the Lincoln Parish Police Jury’s dirt pit on Big Creek Road in Dubach to erect the next weather data-collecting tower for the new statewide network. A project helmed by the University of Louisiana at Monroe, the Mesonet will collect a variety of weather data from 50 towers across the state. Live data for each site will be available to the public online.
