Tangipahoa Parish Emergency Operations Center continues to monitor the possible development of the tropical cyclone.
Main Takeaways:
- There is a medium (40%) chance of tropical cyclone development in the northern Gulf late this week.
- Regardless of development, the system forecast to move through the gulf will bring multiple rounds of heavy rain during the Wed-Sun time frame, with the greatest threat Thursday and Friday.
- High rainfall rates are likely to overwhelm drainage capacity at times, resulting in street flooding and at least a localized flash flooding threat.
- Areas that see the most rain could experience more significant flash flooding, especially if there aren’t sufficient breaks between rounds of heavy rain to allow drainage to catch up.
