The inauguration of Louisiana's governor-elect has been moved because of a rainy weather forecast.

The ceremony was planned for Monday on the steps of the State Capitol in downtown Baton Rouge, but because the weather is forecast to be stormy it has been moved to Sunday at 4:30 p.m.

Jeff Landry was elected governor this past fall. Prior to that, he served as Louisiana's Attorney General.
