tropical weather

The hurricane season doesn't officially end until November 30th, that's why forecasters are keeping a watchful on the Gulf this weekend.

A similar set up to what we saw in the Gulf with Tropical Storm Nestor is happening again along the Mexican coast.

The storm system should bring heavy rain well to the east of Acadiana over the weekend.

The storm system should pass south of Louisiana's coastline over the weekend.

The system will likely bring an increased threat of rain to Louisiana this weekend or early next week.

Next week's cold front should keep tropical development in the Gulf of Mexico at bay as cooler weather moves into the area.

An area of disturbed weather is expected to move into the Gulf of Mexico early next week.

A potential trouble spot in the Gulf of Mexico due south of Louisiana's coastline is being monitored for further development.

There are currently five areas of tropical weather being watched in the Atlantic Basin this morning.

The system has shown signs of strengthening but will likely move onshore before further development occurs.
