Parts of the immediate Gulf Coast could see 5 to 12 inches of rain through this week, from extreme southeast Louisiana to northwest Florida.
Keep in my that very heavy amounts could fall in short periods of time where any slow-moving or stationary downpours set up, quickly triggering dangerous local flash flooding.
