Gulf Coast – A storm system developing in the Western Caribbean is projected to move into the Gulf of Mexico, with a 40% chance of becoming a tropical depression by midweek. Coastal states from Texas to Florida should be prepared for heavy rain, strong winds, and possible flooding as the storm moves northwest.
According to the National Hurricane Center, favorable environmental conditions are fueling this storm’s potential. Residents along the Gulf Coast are advised to monitor updates closely and prepare for possible evacuations or road closures. Secure outdoor items and check emergency supplies, especially in flood-prone areas.
This storm follows in the wake of Tropical Storm Helene, and while its path remains uncertain, the next few days will be crucial for determining its impact. Coastal cities should expect increased rainfall, gusty winds, and potential storm surges starting as early as Monday.
