2. North-Central Gulf:  A surface trough near the coast of Louisiana is producing a broad area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms.  While development of this system is not anticipated before it moves inland later
today, locally heavy rainfall could produce flash flooding across portions of the northern Gulf coast over the next day or so.  For more information on the rainfall hazards related to this system, please see products issued by your local National Weather Service forecast office.
