The National Hurricane Center is monitoring an area of disturbed weather south of Louisiana that could become the next named tropical system in the Gulf of Mexico.
Development of a tropical weather system in the Gulf of Mexico off the Louisiana coastline is now a more likely according to the National Hurricane Center.
Potential tropical trouble in the form of an area of disturbed weather appears to be taking a path that would bring it into the Gulf of Mexico within the next five days.
Louisiana can expect an uptick in rain chances as a low-pressure system with the potential for tropical development slides to the south and west of the state.
