NEW ORLEANS ( WGNO ) — Shower and thunderstorm activity continues in the Gulf of Mexico right off the upper Texas coastline. Waves of showers and thunderstorms will continue over coastal Texas and Louisiana for the next few days. Should you be worried? Not, necessarily.
The main hazard that this system could bring with it is a chance for a flash flooding scenario to occur. This would occur over areas that generally have poor drainage and are also in a band of training rain. Training is a term used to describe a line of showers and thunderstorms that repeatedly form up over the same location in a short period of time. Similar to how a ‘train’ follows a track.
There is a low chance that this system will develop any further from where it stands now. The Nation Hurricane Center gives it a 10% chance of development over the next 2 days. By Tuesday the disturbance will move inland and continue to lose structure.
Now onto something worth talking a bit more about. Disturbance 2 is making an appearance several miles from the Lesser Antilles with a projected track to the WNW. It should enter the eastern Carribean by Tuesday.
