DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK
------------------------------
At 700 PM CDT (0000 UTC), the disturbance was centered near latitude
24.0 North, longitude 89.2 West. The system has been stationary
during the past few hours.  However, a motion toward the
north-northwest is expected to resume later tonight, followed by a
turn toward the northwest on Tuesday and Tuesday night. On the
forecast track, the disturbance will move toward the Louisiana
coast on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher
gusts. Some slight strengthening is possible before the system
reaches the coast.

Upper-level winds are expected to be marginally conducive for some
additional development of this system during the next day or two,
and a tropical or subtropical cyclone is likely to form during that
time.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...80 percent
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...80 percent
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 205 miles (335 km)
to the north and east of the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure based on reports from
reconnaissance aircraft and nearby ships is 1000 mb (29.53 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND

WIND:  Tropical storm conditions are expected to first reach the
coast within the warning area on Tuesday. Tropical storm conditions
are possible in the watch area on Wednesday.

RAINFALL:  The disturbance is expected to produce total rain
accumulations of 4 to 8 inches with isolated maximum amounts of
10 inches over southeastern Louisiana, southern Mississippi and
Alabama, and the western Florida Panhandle through Wednesday
evening.
