Summary
A Tropical Storm Warning now covers the Louisiana coast from Sabine Pass to Morgan City as Potential Tropical Cyclone One shifts east and raises the flood threat.
Rain totals of 10 to 12 inches are possible over the next few days in cities including Lake Charles, Lafayette, Baton Rouge, Alexandria, New Orleans and into Mississippi.
A Flood Watch remains in effect through Friday morning for most of southeast Louisiana and coastal Mississippi, with localized flooding likely as the system continues affecting parts of Louisiana and Texas.
The National Hurricane Center said the disturbance could strengthen into Tropical Storm Arthur within 24 hours, broadening concern beyond the immediate coastal warning area.
