Donald Jones, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Lake Charles, Louisiana, said during a weather briefing Saturday night that parts of Southeast Texas and southwest Louisiana should expect a "whole lot" of rain in the middle and later part of this week.
路易斯安那州查爾斯湖國家氣象局的氣象學家唐納德·瓊斯 (Donald Jones) 在周六晚間的天氣簡報會上表示,本周中后期,德克薩斯州東南部和路易斯安那州西南部的部分地區(qū)將迎來“大量”降雨。
"Definitely want to continue to keep a very close eye on the forecast here in the coming days because this is something that could develop and evolve fairly rapidly. We're looking at anything from a non-named just tropical moisture air mass all the way up to the potential for a hurricane," Jones said.
