Arthur Rainbands Dump 3-8 Inches on Louisiana as Flooding and Tornado Threats Persist

New Orleans and a broad stretch of southeast Louisiana faced heavy downpours Thursday after Arthur weakened, with rainbands still triggering flooding and tornadic weather.
An additional 3-5 inches of rain is forecast in many areas, while some spots could pick up 4-8 inches or more on top of several inches already fallen.
Rain rates of 2-4 inches per hour under tropical feeder bands are driving the highest flood risk from the River Parishes to Baton Rouge, the Northshore and into south Mississippi.
Forecasters said the setup will be uneven—some communities may see little rain, while others could be hit with extreme totals above 10 inches over 24 hours.
