In the tropics, Delta made landfall in Louisiana on Friday evening as a category 2 hurricane, and it is now weakening quickly.  At 5 am Saturday, Tropical Storm Delta was located near 31.8 North, 91.8 West, about 45 miles south-southeast of Monroe, Louisiana.  Maximum sustained winds were 45 miles per hour.  Delta was moving north-northeast at 16 miles per hour.  Up to 5 inches of rain are possible as Delta moves up the Mississippi and Tennessee River Valleys this weekend.   Elsewhere, a wave in the central Atlantic has a low chance of developing before upper level winds become unfavorable by the middle of next week.
