Tropical Storm Francine intensifying, heading for Louisiana landfall
Briefly

"Hurricane warnings are in force, indicating hurricane conditions are expected within the warning region during the next 36 hours, for much of the Louisiana coastline."
"Heavy rains from the system could cause significant flash flooding from the coast to well inland, especially since several inches of rain fell across this region last week."
"Tropical Storm Francine is forecast to hit a part of the Gulf Coast vulnerable to storm surge flooding. Predictions call for 5 to 10 feet of water above normally dry ground along the central Louisiana coast."
"While steady to potentially rapid intensification is forecast on Tuesday into Tuesday night, strong winds aloft and some dry air may cause the intensification to stop or weaken slightly near landfall."
