BATON ROUGE - Streets flooded in some neighborhoods around Baton Rouge and its surrounding areas Tuesday as Tropical Depression Nicholas brought significant rainfall to southeast Louisiana.

The storm made landfall in Texas overnight but is expected to drop heavy rain on much of the WBRZ viewing area through Wednesday. A flash flood watch is currently in effect for all of south Louisiana and parts of Mississippi and Texas.

***FLASH FLOOD WATCH*** for the shaded area. We'll have updated forecasts and post warnings, if issued. #lawx #mswx pic.twitter.com/dsHkrY41eB
