the northern and western Gulf Coast through the weekend. These
swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current
conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.

RAINFALL: Indirect rainfall associated with the moisture from Rafael 
is expected to lead to additional rainfall amounts of 2 to 4 
inches, with local totals to 15 inches, across portions of 
southwestern and central Louisiana into this afternoon.  This rain 
could lead to or continue significant flash flooding.
