Torrential rain expected along Louisiana Gulf coast

Jacksonville, FL — Northeast Florida will feel tropical downpours at times today but there will be no local impacts from the system in the Gulf of Mexico.

Action News Jax Chief Meteorologist Mike Buresh says tropical storm Barry will continue moving generally away from Florida and will likely impact the central Gulf coast as we head into the weekend.  This system could intensify into a hurricane by the weekend.

The current forecast has Barry making landfall along the coast of Louisiana as a hurricane.  There will be no local impacts from this system for northeast Florida and SE Georgia.
