Tropical Storm Frances, a system that dumped heavy rain on parts of Louisiana for the past three days, is gone, but the rainy remnants threaten to douse the Midwest today from Minnesota to Louisiana.
Flood warnings are in effect for parts of eastern Oklahoma and western Missouri.
Later today, NWS forecasts show the storm system will move into the Great Lakes area. Louisiana Frances moved out of the Gulf of Mexico at the end of last week, bringing up to 15 inches of rain to parts of Louisiana. New Orleans reported 11.8 inches of rain since Friday. PDAs are expected to begin Tuesday, Sept. 15. Other parishes reporting damage include Orleans, Vermillion, St. Charles and Lafourche.
