In the tropics, a weak system could develop in the northern Gulf late-week near New Orleans.
Either way, there will be lots of rain for coastal Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and the Florida Panhandle.
Lots of rain for the northern Gulf the next several days. Some tropical development possible in this area. Regardless, wet! pic.twitter.com/npMLau8g2q
