Now reading the Corner by Simon,,immersed in the drug culture!!
DISCUSSION DOWNGRADED TROPICAL STORM RITA LOCATED OVER NORTHWEST LOUISIANA CONTINUES TO IMPACT THE FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON. OFF AND ON TROPICAL BANDS OF RAIN ALONG WITH A PERSISTENT ONSHORE COMPONENT ARE CAUSING SOME STORM SURGE ISSUES ACROSS AREAS NEAR BODIES OF WATER AND WITH LITTLE MOVEMENT EXPECTED WITH RITA THROUGH TONIGHT...THIS PATTERN UNFORTUNATELY LOOKS TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS.
IN ADDITION...NORTHWARD MOVING BANDS OF RAIN ASSOCIATED WITH RITA WILL PROVIDE A SLIGHT RISK OF ISOLATED TORNADOES INTO THE EVENING HOURS. THE OFFICIAL FORECAST TRACK OF RITA STILL SHOWS THE SYSTEM MEANDERING NORTH AND EAST ACROSS THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI INTO NEXT WEEK. THIS WILL LIKELY SET THE STAGE FOR A GOOD RAIN EVENT ACROSS THE REGION AS TROPICAL MOISTURE CONTINUES TO SURGE NORTHWARD AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM.
