New Orleans • Tropical Storm Barry continued to slowly rumble across Louisiana on Sunday, bringing waves of rain that forecasters warned could lead to dangerous flash flooding.
The storm has dropped less rain than initially feared and was expected to weaken throughout the day. But as Barry made its plodding, almost leisurely way through the region, the storm still posed a significant threat, with flash flood watches extending across most of Louisiana and into Mississippi and Arkansas.
The National Hurricane Center said Barry could dump up to a foot of rain in some parts of southern and central Louisiana, with 20 inches possible in some areas.
