The tropical development in the northern Gulf of Mexico this week is expected to be limited due to its close proximity to land, but it will still pose a danger for the millions who reside across the region.

There’s growing concern for another significant rain and flooding event this week, this time along the Gulf Coast, from what could become the Atlantic basin’s next tropical system.

A tropical disturbance is tracking toward Louisiana. The chances that it turns into a tropical storm are dropping, but localized flooding Thursday and Friday is possible.
