Hurricane forecasters on Friday afternoon were tracking a tropical disturbance that's heading for the Gulf of Mexico. It has a 30% chance of developing into at least a tropical depression.
Update: Tropical disturbance could reach Louisiana next week
It's too soon to tell if it could post a threat to Louisiana. However, it could mean an increase in moisture and rainfall along portions of the northern Gulf Coast next week, regardless of development, according to the National Weather Service in Lake Charles.
Forecasters also are tracking Hurricane Larry, which is strengthening in the Atlantic. It does not pose any immediate threat to land, other than rip tides.
Here's what to know about the tropics as of 1 p.m. Friday.
Disturbance heading for the Gulf of Mexico
A tropical disturbance is expected to reach the Gulf of Mexico late this weekend, according to the National Hurricane Center.
As of 1 p.m., the disturbance was over portions of Central America and the southern Yucatan peninsula. It's expected to move northwest during the next day or two, bringing heavy rains to these areas.
Once it reaches the Gulf, forecasters said, it is expected to move northwest to north early next week. It's too soon to tell where it could go. However, forecasters said unfavorable weather conditions "could limit significant development."
The shaded area on the graphic is where a storm could develop and is not a track. The National Hurricane Center releases a track when a tropical depression forms or is about to form.
The categories, in order of increasing strength, are tropical depression, tropical storm and hurricane (categories 1 through 5).

Full restoration of normal refinery output will take two to three

they did in past storms due to power outages and logistical issues.
Climate change is fueling deadly and disastrous weather across
the globe, including stronger and more damaging hurricanes.Power has been restored to seven of the impacted refineries since

Thank you so much....I am in an area that was not even close to what others further south west are dealing with. Power just came on here and this is how I was able to shut off the generator and give thanks...again thank you for your kind words

I read a lot of science articles/magazines and more and more contain such language.
I was talking to my son (PhD physics) about this and he said that people that include the 'climate change' theme into their papers get more grants, etc.
Prayers for you and your loved ones...
