Torrential downpours that can trigger dangerous flooding is the main threat from a tropical rainstorm along the north-central Gulf coast for the balance of this week. Southern Louisiana is in the crosshairs.

There’s growing concern for another significant rain and flooding event this week, this time along the Gulf Coast, from what could become the Atlantic basin’s next tropical system.

A tropical disturbance and the heavy rain moving along with it will bring a risk of flash flooding to Florida and the central Gulf Coast in the coming days, particularly in southern Louisiana, including New Orleans and Baton Rouge.
