Quickly Formed Atlantic Weather Systems To Bring More Rain
Over the last few days, almost all of Louisiana has been blanketed with rain coming from the Atlantic Ocean, and a newly formed system in the Atlantic is expected to bring even more downpours.
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) in Miami is monitoring a new system just as two others faded above the ocean. The NHC has stated there is no reason for serious concern with this new weather system as high winds are expected to prevent the formation of a larger system.
There is still reason for concern about a hurricane outside of this current weather system as September 10th, next Tuesday, will be the optimal time and climate for hurricanes to form. August through October is prime real estate for tropical storms and hurricanes to form, with those three months hosting 77% of named storms and 87% of hurricanes in an average year's hurricane season.
The Northwestern Atlantic system is making its way up the East Coast and forecasters believe this system has a 20% chance of growing in the next two to seven days. The Eastern Tropical Atlantic System is currently sitting far off from land at the moment and is expected to only have a 10% chance of growing in the next week.
The system threatening to bring more rain to Louisiana is a tropical wave that's been causing storms and downpours near Belize and the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. Development is possible over the weekend as the system is expected to move across the Gulf of Mexico and is expected to merge with another frontal system in the area.
