The National Hurricane Center has dropped development chances for a system along the Gulf Coast to just 30% now.
"Recent satellite wind data, in combination with surface and radar observations, indicate the broad area of low pressure located over
the far northern portion of the Gulf remains quite disorganized," the NHC posted. "In addition, the associated shower and thunderstorm activity remains displaced well west of the broad center."
Much of the rain has move south or west of New Orleans.
"While some additional development of this system remains possible... its current structure suggests its chances of developing into a tropical depression before it reaches the Louisiana coast later today are decreasing."
Federal forecasters say there could still be some isolated flooding.
"Regardless of development, heavy rainfall could produce localized flash flooding over portions of the north-central Gulf Coast through Friday."
