Tropical Depression #5

[malaise]

Tropical Depression Five hasn't organized overnight, but may later today. Odds favor the system making landfall as a Tropical Storm in eastern Louisiana or Mississippi sometime overnight Thursday into Friday.

The system has pulled in quite a bit of dry air overnight and is even a bit weaker than yesterday currently, but can recover.

There is an outside chance that the system can strengthen beyond that, but unless it changes drastically today or tomorrow, it doesn't look like that will happen. If it does strengthen it would likely be just before landfall. Therefore those in the warning area will need to pay close attention to local media and officials. But, again, odds are It likely will be mostly a rain maker.

Those poor people have quite enough to be getting on with.
