Coastal Florida residents are watching the progress of Tropical Storm Dorian. Elsewhere could there be a Sunday surprise brewing in the Gulf of Mexico?
With forecasters calling for an above-average season the "quiet" is sounding a little too ominous as we head into the most active time of the tropical season.

The tropical development that could bring large amounts of rainfall to Louisiana later this week could have a mitigating impact on the Gulf of Mexico’s algae bloom.
Lafayette Consolidated Government (LCG) officials say they are meeting with state and local emergency personnel to plan for the storm as well as recovery efforts.
