This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of Southeast
Louisiana...South Mississippi and the adjacent coastal waters.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

A Flash Flood Watch is in effect for all of Southeast Louisiana
and South Mississippi parishes and counties. Heavy rain bands
associated with Tropical Storm Harvey could produce locally heavy
rainfall resulting in street flooding of low lying and poor
drainage areas today and tonight.

A Coastal Flood Advisory is in effect for coastal Louisiana west
of the Mississippi River. Strong onshore winds of 25 to 30 mph
could increase tides 1 to 2 feet above normal resulting in minor
flooding of low lying roads outside of levee protected areas.

A Small Craft Advisory is in effect for all of the coastal waters
excluding the tidal lakes. Strong onshore winds of 20 to 30 knots
and seas of 5 to 8 feet east of the river and 9 to 12 feet west of
the river are expected to develop today and tonight.

A Marginal to Slight Risk of severe thunderstorms exists across
the area today and tonight. The primary risk from any severe
thunderstorms that form will be tornadoes and strong gusty winds.
The highest threat of tornadoes will be along and south of the
Interstate 10 corridor.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday

The Flash Flood watch will remain in effect through Thursday
evening as outer rain bands associated with Tropical Storm Harvey
continue to bring a threat of heavy rainfall to the area.
Additional rainfall of between 4 and 8 inches will be possible
from today through Thursday evening. This heavy rainfall could
produce street flooding of low lying and poor drainage areas
through Thursday evening.

A Coastal Flood Advisory will remain in effect through Thursday
evening for coastal Louisiana west of the Mississippi River as
strong onshore winds of 20 to 30 mph persist. Tide levels 1 to 2
feet above normal could result in minor flooding of low lying
roads outside of the levee protected areas.

A Small Craft Advisory will remain in effect through Thursday
evening as strong southerly winds of 20 to 30 knots and seas of 5
to 8 feet east of the river and 9 to 12 feet west of the river
persist. Conditions should gradually improve through the day on
Thursday as Tropical Storm Harvey moves inland and weakens.

A Marginal Risk of severe thunderstorms is expected both Wednesday
and Thursday over much of the forecast area as Tropical Storm
Harvey moves onshore and then toward Arkansas and northern
Louisiana. A few outer rain bands associated with the system could
have isolated severe thunderstorms that produce tornadoes and
strong gusty winds.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is not anticipated today but may be needed for
flood monitoring today through Thursday.
