National Hurricane Center Monitors Two Tropical Waves in Atlantic

One system in the Gulf of Mexico has a 60% chance of development and could impact Texas and Louisiana next week.

The Gulf system may become a tropical depression early next week, potentially bringing heavy rain and strong winds to the Gulf Coast.
A second system in the eastern Atlantic has a 30% chance of development as it moves west-northwestward.
Despite a quiet period since mid-August, experts still anticipate an active hurricane season with conditions favoring storm development.
The Atlantic hurricane season peaks around September 10 and continues until December 1, offering time for more storms to form.
Record-warm ocean temperatures and reduced wind shear are expected to contribute to increased tropical activity in the coming weeks.
