Yeah right now I'm guessing some of the tropical downpours I've gotten has been the outflow from this plus the convection from what used to be a stronger Marco.

IR makes it look that way as well.

NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL142020
600 PM CDT Mon Aug 24 2020

...MARCO MAKES LANDFALL NEAR THE MOUTH OF THE MISSISSIPPI...
...EXPECTED TO BECOME A TROPICAL DEPRESSION LATER TONIGHT...

Visible satellite imagery and surface observations indicate that
Marco made landfall near the mouth of the Mississippi River around
600 PM CDT. Data from an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter Aircraft
indicate that Marco is producing a small area of
tropical-storm-force winds over water to the northeast of the
center. These winds will likely subside during the next few hours as
Marco moves along the coast of Louisiana. Heavy rain will continue
along portions of the north-central Gulf Coast through tonight.

The estimated minimum pressure at the time of landfall was 1006 mb
(29.71 inches).

Marco has weakened to a tropical depression.
 
We may be getting a big case study on Marco because of how the NHC constantly had to flip their forecast cones esp in southern Caribbean. Their forecast error took a beating more than with Laura. Not that I could do any better, I would like to know more why we got this one so wrong on track and even intensity.
