Today's showers and thunderstorms could fill streets with water, and the National Weather Service is concerned.
"With all of the recent rain we've had, we are a little bit worried about getting some heavy downpours and maybe some street flooding out there," Rob Frye told WWL First News.
He is a senior forecaster in the NWS office for New Orleans and Baton Rouge
Frye is also watching swollen Northshore rivers.
"We did have a break yesterday, so some rivers have fallen below flood stage, but it is not going to take very much to get refill those back to being in flood."
He says we have gone from one extreme to another.
"Boy what a difference a week and a half makes, because we were just talking about being in a severe drought; right? Now grounds are saturated."
Frye says the rest of the week looks sunny and dry.
The city of New Orleans is allowing neutral ground parking until 9:00am on Tuesday.
