tropics

The forecast models keep sliding the track of this weather system further and further to the north. That could become problematic for Louisiana this weekend.

There could be two tropical trouble spots affecting the Gulf of Mexico by later this week.

The tropics continue to get busier and busier. Here is the latest on the four tropical systems in the Atlantic basin this morning.

One hurricane and now three tropical waves are keeping forecasters as we head into the busiest weeks of the hurricane season.

Two tropical waves in the far eastern Atlantic are being monitored for strengthening as they move westward across the ocean.

Based on this revised forecast we still have a lot more tropical weather to look forward to before the end of the season.

Forecasters are monitoring a system that could strengthen and move into the Gulf of Mexico by early next week.

The down side is that it will be hot and hazy again today. The upside is that we should see some very pretty sunrises and sunsets over the next few days.

Dry air off the northern coast of South America dooms Don. The Hurricane Center continues to watch another tropical wave for development.

The fourth named storm of the 2017 Hurricane Season has formed. It is not expected to be a problem for the U.S. mainland.

Another tropical trouble spot is brewing in the Bahamas. Chances are it will not be a player in the weather forecast for the United States.

The Atlantic tropical season is finally beginning to wind down as Hurricane Nicoles moves away from land.

Besides Hurricane Matthew there are a couple of other systems in the Atlantic Basin that you should at least be aware of.

Matthew is now a category 2 hurricane. It is expected to strengthen to major hurricane status within the next 24 to 36 hours.

Tropical Storm Matthew has formed in the tropical Atlantic. It's not expected to affect the Louisiana coastline, at least anytime soon.

A tropical wave in the Caribbean appears to have dissipated which is good news for the Gulf Coast.

An almost hurricane and three areas of disturbed weather have the Gulf Coast and the East Coast keeping a watchful eye on the tropics this weekend.
