Corpus Christi, TX – A tropical cyclone is developing in the same region where Hurricane Helene formed, raising concerns along the Gulf Coast. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) reports a 50% chance of this system developing into a tropical storm over the next seven days. Current spaghetti models show it could impact anywhere between Corpus Christi, Texas, and other areas along the Gulf Coast.
According to the National Weather Service, the low-pressure system in the western Caribbean is currently moving northwest. This region’s warm waters previously fueled Hurricane Helene, which developed over several days into a major storm. If this system follows a similar pattern, it could strengthen as it enters the Gulf of Mexico.
Spaghetti models suggest the system’s path remains uncertain, with potential landfall anywhere from Texas to other parts of the Gulf Coast. While the chance of development is at 50%, it’s critical for residents and visitors to monitor updates closely.
The NHC urges residents from Corpus Christi and beyond to stay alert. Travelers should also stay informed, as this system could bring significant weather changes if it intensifies. More updates are expected over the coming days as the system moves into the Gulf.
