Flash Flood Warning extended until 9:30 p.m. for the New Orleans Metro

NEW ORLEANS ( WGNO ) — The National Weather Service has issued a Flash Flood Warning for the New Orleans Metro area. Now extended through 9:30 p.m.

Carrolton Underpass closed due to high water from flash flooding.

Rainfall rates of 1.5-2.5″ per hour has prompted the issuance. Watch for street flooding as soils are already saturated from earlier storms today.

High-res model guidance highlighting scattered rain chances into the evening southeast Louisiana & south Mississippi.

Another round of off & on storms tomorrow. Rain chances highest along the coast in the morning, working their way northward by mid day-early afternoon.

It won’t rain all day, but I’d expect to dodge storms. Weather Prediction Center has placed a Marginal Risk (Level 1 out of 4) for excessive rainfall & flash flooding. Watch for storms to produce quick 1-2″ of rainfall.
