Sunday 10 PM Tropical Update: System forms in the southern Gulf, forecast to become a hurricane

That's right. Of course, it had to happen sometime. It's that time of the year and we are talking about the tropics. This is potential tropical cyclone six. It's this broad area of showers and storms in the southern Gulf of Mexico and it is expected to drift northward tomorrow and strengthen to a tropical storm. Next name on the list is Francine. It looks like it will continue to strengthen, getting into Tuesday and Wednesday as it hugs the western Gulf coast and could strengthen to a category one hurricane by landfall. Landfall. Looks like sometime maybe late we Wednesday, early Thursday, either in East Texas or western Louisiana. Now there's still no well defined center with PTC six. So the cone will shift up, make sure you do check back for the latest forecast with this because landfall is only a couple days away. It looks like sometime late Wednesday, early Thursday. So calling for a weather impact alert for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday here at home this week because we'll see the tropical downpour starting Tuesday, heavy rain on Wednesday into early Thursday. Strong winds especially for Wednesday into early Thursday could lead to some street flooding and some coastal flooding during the midweek, especially considering all the rain we got over the last couple of days. It wouldn't be that difficult to maybe get some down trees going into Wednesday when those winds start to kick up and maybe some power outages. So just kind of throwing that out there getting that uh out in the open now for the midweek time frame, just getting our minds prep for what's to come.
