There’s growing concern a potential tropical system could bring significant flooding to the Gulf Coast, but questions remain in the forecast.

Forecasters are warning of early signs of a potential tropical cyclone developing along the northeastern Gulf of Mexico. A low-pressure system that could bring storms to Florida before moving west has a medium chance of developing into a tropical cyclone over the next several days, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC).

All eyes on the tropics as a disturbance nearing Florida will move into the Gulf and develop into a storm over the next few days.

A trough of low pressure located offshore the Atlantic Coast of northern Florida could bring heavy rains to the Gulf Coast region and Southeast Louisiana later this week as it moves westward, according to the National Hurricane Center.

A disorganized low-pressure area off Florida is showing increasing chances of becoming a tropical depression or tropical storm this week.

At least 2-3 inches of rainfall is possible over Florida's Gulf Coast region and the inland areas through Thursday.
