ORLANDO, Fla. — Delta weakened into a non-tropical low Saturday night, according to the National Hurricane Center.

The remains of Delta are still bringing a tornado threat to parts of the southeast U. S.

Hurricane Delta made landfall Friday night as a Category 2 storm near Creole, LA, bringing heavy rain, high winds and life-threatening storm surges to the state of Louisiana.
