At this point it looks like we may get some rain from it on Wednesday and possible early Thursday. However, another cold front that may arrive late Wednesday and keep big impacts away from us. Plus it may stay a messy system where most of the rain is displaced far east of the center.
A few things we have going for us is that this likely won't be extremely intense at landfall. The current forecast is for a tropical storm. Also, it will be moving fast - it should accelerate over the northern Gulf due to a trough of low pressure driving the cold front, so it won't hang around for long.
For now, we have rain chances increasing Wednesday with the frontal passage set for early Thursday, then much cooler weather Friday and next weekend.
