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).
