It often happens as tropical squalls move inland away from their moisture source. Every storm this happens until the center gets inland and the core of the moisture source arrives. Problem with this system is the center is nothing.

I always wondered why the tropical squalls always dissipated the farther on shore they went, always thought it was dry air

Great point by Zach.....yeah tropical cyclones are really quite different than everyday summer storms.....they are fueled from the center as opposed to summer storms that are fueled by daytime heating from the land....the clouds don't build high in the atmosphere (away from near the center) like land heating develops thunderstorms.

We are going to pile up rain if this keeps up.

It's heading my way too, in Harahan. Radar has it arriving around 5p.

I know I’m repeating myself, but it looks like the HRRR has caught on to this heavy band. Accumulation map shows upwards of 8” centered just south of the lake over Orleans and Upper Jefferson through 12am.

The 21z is rolling out now...may have backed off slightly from the 20z, but it is the third run in a row, that shows something that could be "concerning", for the south shore.
Through 1:00AM

Focusing on more mundane topics of the evening like, say, this mess of a system, unless my eyes are deceiving me (my retina specialist reports they are functioning well as of 6/8/2021), I'm seeing on radar what appears to be the center (and starting to close in at that!) making "landfall" if you will around Grand Isle and heading into the NOLA area, bringing a break in this downpour of rain. If that is true, this will be the second year in a row that the center of a tropical system passed over my house! Isn't that thrilling news?

It's definitely looking tropical outside my window- horizontal rain and some decent winds.

Definitely feeling tropical in Mid City! Wind gusts 25-35mph, steady moderate rain. Will need to watch the feeder band becoming established over Plaquemines Parish, that’s where the rain will quickly stack up.

Band wasn’t much to boast about down here in Belle Chasse. Just some heavy rain and small gusts. Interested to see when this wind is suppose to get here tomorrow according to D.B. If I heard him right.

The good news, for SE Louisiana, is that the rain is over, by around 1:00AM or so.
The bad news, is SE Mississippi and south Alabama, looks to be the bullseye.

Through about 7:00AM

Yeah, Scott, that band is definitely training and again if my perceptions are correct, it will miss most of SE LA but the Mississippi and Alabama Gulf Coasts are going to perhaps come a little closer to getting that 20 inches projected by one of the models over the course of the weekend.

be careful what you wish for... a named storm is the "trigger event" in LA for higher deductibles

Louisiana Hurricane Deductibles

There are three deductibles for homeowners policies related to wind damage: hurricane, named storm and windstorm and hail. Named storm deductibles are activated when the National Hurricane Center reports that a storm reached tropical storm strength when winds reach 39 miles per hour (mph). Hurricane deductibles are activated when the National Hurricane Center reports that a tropical storm reached hurricane strength, at 74 mph. Windstorm and hail deductibles are used when homes sustain damage from winds from any source: hurricanes and tropical storms, tornadoes, or other storms.

Mine is about the same, down to 29.78, but I gotta tell you, relatively speaking it's not THAT bad here. Remember that low that hung over us a couple of weeks ago and we had torrents of rain that flooded some of our streets? This isn't anywhere near as bad. Looking at the radar, personally I don't see how I'm going to get 5.5 inches of rain before 1:00 a.m.
