Heavy rain hits Gulf Coast
Digest more
A slow-developing, broad area of low pressure located over the far northern portion of the Gulf is threatening to bring heavy rain and flooding.
There will be no tropical depression in the Gulf, at least this week. The National Hurricane Center on Thursday said an area of low pressure that had attracted the attention of weather watchers this week as it moved across the northern Gulf has moved inland in Louisiana as of Thursday evening.
A system that landed in Louisiana Thursday currently does not have any chance of forming, but it will still bring more heavy rains and potential flooding to southern Louisiana Friday and Saturday. The region remains under a flood watch after much of the New Orleans area was left unscathed Thursday.
