Tracking Tropical Storm Barry: Louisiana coast braces for season's first hurricane

Slow-moving Tropical Storm Barry, just shy of hurricane-strength, crawled toward a noon landfall Saturday west of New Orleans, bringing the threat of flooding along the Gulf Coast as far east as Alabama, with the heaviest rain pounding an area around New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Lafayette.

The National Hurricane Center said Barry is expected to dump from 10 to 20 inches of rain over south-central and southeast Louisiana and southwest Mississippi, with some areas — facing 2 to 3 inches an hour — getting as much as 20 to 25 inches.

NHC director Ken Graham warned that the slow-moving rain cells were creating especially dangerous flooding conditions in southeastern Louisiana and into Mississippi.

"When you put that much rain down in areas around Baton Rouge and Mississippi, those rivers and creeks are filling quickly," he said. Graham urged residents to heed local authorities and stay off the roads when the flooding begins.

It's probable due to more 'waming' than warming.
