It may or may not develop into a tropical depression, but the system will bring rains and the possibility of flooding. Here's the forecast for New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Lafayette.

In one worst-case scenario, New Orleans could receive up to 10 inches of rain by the end of the weekend. A tropical disturbance and the heavy rain moving along with it will bring a risk of flash flooding to Florida and the central Gulf Coast in the coming days, particularly in southern Louisiana, including New Orleans and Baton Rouge.

Heavy rainfall will produce torrential rates of 3 to 4 inches per hour across Florida, leading to flooding in some areas, with local totals possibly reaching double digits.
