1:30PM Update: The axis of heavier rain continues across from Livingston to Bay St. Louis - including Hammond, Mandeville, Covington and Slidell. Rain is also starting to press farther north into southern MS. Watching any more re-development over coastal SE LA. #lawx #mswx

2:45PM: Light to moderate rain continues across a large portion of the area this afternoon. Good news, there are no Flash Flood Warnings in effect. However, lingering water over roadways is possible in spots. Be safe it traveling. Allow extra time to your destination #lawx #mswx

9:05PM Radar-Generally light to occasionally moderate rain across the area except this rogue shower that has been increasing in intensity as it moves north. It could drop 1-2 inches of rain as it moves over you and with so much rain today, street flooding could occur quickly.

Here's how much rain has fallen across the area since Wednesday morning. Highest totals have been around Houma, Slidell, and portions of metro BTR. Another 2 to 4 inches of rain in localized spots expected today, and a Flood watch is in effect until 7 AM Saturday. #lawx #mswx

6:45AM Update: Monitoring heavy rain that continues to approach the Southshore early this morning. While not intense, will not take much to cause ponding/minor flooding in locations. Plan accordingly if traveling this morning and avoid flooded roadways! #lawx #mswx

This area of showers off the coast has the potential to produce waterspouts over the next couple hours. Will be monitoring this closely as the rain slowly drifts towards onshore areas. #lawx

12:30PM Update: Moderate to heavy showers continue mainly along coastal SE LA, lighter/scattered to the north. Expecting to stay this way thru the rest of the afternoon/evening. If traveling, watch for water along roadways, especially coastal parishes. #lawx #mswx

🌀 Next Week: We'll have to keep an eye on the tropics, with the potential for some development in the SW Gulf. At this time, impacts to our local area will be an increase in rain chances mid/late week. Stay updated to the latest forecast: nhc.noaa.gov #lawx #mswx

4:30PM: Starting to see more scattered showers developing across the Northshore/Florida Parishes, which should persist thru sunset/early tonight. Watch for minor flooding in some of these. Meanwhile, moderate rain continues along coastal SE LA. Use caution traveling! #lawx #mswx

5:48pm radar - widespread showers continue near and off the coast along with some showers roughly along the I-10/I-12 corridor. Please use caution while traveling and do not drive through flooded roads! #LAwx #MSwx #TurnAroundDon’tDrown

We continue to keep watch on the tropics. The disturbance in the southwest Gulf of Mexico now has a low (30%) chance of development in the next 2 days and medium (50%) in the next 7 days. This will likely increase rain chances for us into the middle to late parts of next week.

Heavy Rain update - a heavy rainband is currently over the lakes moving slowly towards the I-10/12 corridor & west of NOLA. 1-2''/hr rates are possible with these storms. Remember it's a lot harder to see flooding at night. Please stay safe! #LAwx

Flash Flood Warning including Laplace LA, Luling LA and Destrehan LA until 1:45 AM CDT

Flash Flood Warning continues for Laplace LA, Luling LA and Destrehan LA until 2:45 AM CDT
