Will tropical disturbances affect weather on Fourth of July weekend in Louisiana? What to know
On June 29, the storm made landfall near Tampico, Mexico as a tropical depression and then dissipated inland over Northeast Mexico early on June 30.
The National Hurricane Center is now tracking another tropical disturbance off the Southeast cost of the U.S.
The National Hurricane Center is tracking a disturbance over Florida that stretches most of the Gulf coast and into the Atlantic Ocean as far as off the Georgia and South Carolina coasts, Naples Daily News reported.
There is a chance that the disturbance could affect Fourth of July weekend, however, the chance of development remains low, at about 20%, over the next seven days, according to forecasters.
Towards the end of this week and into the weekend, an area of low pressure could develop from a frontal boundary near or along the Southeastern Atlantic or Gulf coasts, and some gradual tropical or subtropical development could occur afterwards as it drifts off the U.S. coastline, according to the National Hurricane Center.
In Louisiana, storm chances will remain through the middle of the week and decrease by the Fourth of July weekend. Although, the lack of rain may result in hotter temperatures, WAFB 9 reported.
