A Coastal Flood Watch is in effect from the MS/AL coast through Terrebonne parish, including Lakes Pontchartrain/Maurepas until Saturday evening. Tides will run Friday 1-2' above normal and on Saturday 2-3' above normal.

The disturbance is still not very organized. The upper low is still playing a part in the slow development of this system today. Also dry air has been drawn in today as well. This is an example that it doesn't matter if the waters are warm enough, if other ingredients are not there or just right, systems still can't develop.

Model data still has the possibility of this system gaining strength to a sub-tropical or tropical storm. Some models even show weakening as it nears the coast line. All interest from the LA coast to western FL panhandle need to watch. Also if you are planning to attend the LSU game on Saturday, you need to keep abreast of the system.
