Gulf Coast Braces for Flooding
Digest more
As high pressure builds over the southern United States next week, the northern Gulf to areas along the central Gulf coast will be the zone to watch for tropical development.
The National Hurricane Center has highlighted an area it's watching in the Gulf. Right now, there's a low chance for development.
Flooding was possible across some parts of Southeast Texas, mainly east of Interstate 45, and in East Texas along the Texas-Louisiana border.
Its chances for tropical development are less, but rainfall flooding is a threat, regardless, in the lower Mississippi Valley. Here's our latest forecast.
The Florida Panhandle will see heavy rainfall from Invest 93L after it reaches the Gulf on Wednesday. The greatest threat to the area at the moment is flash flooding in low-lying, poor-drainage areas and urban locations. Invest 93L is currently expected to make landfall near Louisiana's southeastern coast Thursday morning.
