The Gulf Coast, including southeastern Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and the Florida Panhandle, is expected to experience moderate to heavy rainfall, with totals ranging from 3 to 6 inches. This could lead to localized flooding in low-lying areas. The storm's intensity and exact path remain uncertain, but it may strengthen into a hurricane, increasing the risk of wind damage and storm surge. The Southeast U.S. and potentially the Ohio Valley and Northeast could also see significant rainfall early next week. Residents in affected areas should monitor updates closely.
