Flood Watch until 07:00PM Friday
Moisture will quickly recover across the region tonight and combine with favorable conditions for locally heavy rain to develop across portions of southeast Louisiana. Most of this activity is anticipated to develop just off the coast in the Gulf and slowly move inland around sunrise from east to west. This could lead to multiple storms running over some locations that are flood prone.

* WHEN...From 7 PM CDT this evening through Friday evening.
