BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) – Tropical Depression Five will bypass the local area giving only indirect impacts.
TROPICAL Depression Five
The National Hurricane Center has begun tracking Tropical Depression Five as of the 1 PM advisory. Tropical Storm Warnings have been issued near the Louisiana / Texas border. T.D. #5 will be a lopsided system with most of the impacts taking place near and south of the center.
The sheared system will only cause a glancing blow for Southeast Louisiana. We expect to see scattered rain bands which may contain pockets of gusty winds and heavy rain for the next few days. Behind T.D. #5 are the remnants of Dolly. These remnants are forecast to dissipate over the Bahamas in the coming days…
