Though this system is headed in a South, it could still impact the oil patch offshore.

And if the system develops into a tropical storm and then turns North, it could dump rain on parts of Louisiana and Mississippi that has just been hit with flooding from Hurricane Isaac.

Sure it won’t be in Charlotte, NC by Thursday evening?

THis system is the remnants of Isaac that slowly moved south through Alabama the last few days dumping a ton of rain, and causing a lot of wind damage on an already soaked area.

I caught a snippet from the Weather Channel yesterday about the possible re-emergence of Isaac in the Gulf with subsequent strengthening. Went to the NHC tropical outlook and there wasn’t a peep about this. And now here it is. Why, why, why? (and I want flying cars too)

Local weather guy out of New Orleans (Bob Breck Fox-8-) said that a front should pick it up and head it towards the Central Florida peninsula.
Most models I have seen , so far, verify his forecast.
Don't need any more rain in south Louisiana, my yard is just starting to dry up.

AP has article on this system (via KATC ABC TV 3):

'Spawn of Isaac' moves into the Gulf

Max winds are 30 mph. I am not sure at what wind speed helicopters cannot fly to evacuate crews from the Gulf...
