NOCEM continues to monitor Tropical Storm Arthur. This system is forecast to make landfall near the Texas-Louisiana border tonight. This storm is very lopsided with the highest impacts well east of the center.

The potential for significant flash flooding will be highest this evening through Thursday morning, especially where heavy rain/intense rainfall rates repeatedly move over the same locations.

Please continue to:
- Stay weather aware, especially tonight and into tomorrow.
- Have multiple ways to receive warnings and emergency information. Residents can sign up for NOLA Ready alerts by texting NOLAREADY to 77295.
- Limit unnecessary travel during periods of intense rainfall.
- Turn Around, Don't Drown. Never drive through flooded roadways or around barricades.
- If it is safe to do so, clear debris from nearby catch basins to help improve drainage in your neighborhood ahead of heavy rain.

There is a marginal risk for severe weather and excessive rainfall across the area this afternoon through this evening according to the National Weather Service (NWS).

Neutral ground parking has been lifted until 9 AM on 5/12.

Possible impacts are as follows:
Damaging Winds:
* Wind gusts greater than 60 mph are possible.
* Winds of this magnitude are capable of causing damage to trees and power lines, leading to isolated/scattered power outages
Large Hail:
* Large hail of up to 1 inch in diameter will be possible.
Tornadoes:
* Tornadoes are not expected but one or two can not be ruled out. 
Rainfall
* In addition to the severe weather threat, rainfall of 1 to 3 inches is forecast. There is a chance of local amounts in excess of 4 inches.
* Runoff will lead to ponding of water in low lying areas and areas of poor drainage.
* Street flooding is likely from some storms, and flash flooding will be possible in the areas that receive the most rain.
* With rivers already elevated some may climb back into flood or rise to flood stage.
