The same bit of ocean that gave birth to Ida and Mindy is now being watched for potential tropical development over the weekend.

Forecasters are keeping their eyes on a system that is almost due south of Lafayette this morning. Here's where they think it will go next.

Forecasters are watching a system that could affect the Gulf of Mexico and maybe South Louisiana by early next week.

A tropical system moving into the Caribbean could affect the Gulf of Mexico by Friday or Saturday.

Some of the preseason hurricane projections are out and they do not bode well for a quiet summer along the coast.

That area of the ocean has been a historical hot spot for tropical development at this time of year.

The tropics are still not quiet. A new tropical wave is being monitored for development this morning.

The tropical system will likely affect the coastline sometime during the day on Friday.

A tropical depression is now likely to form in the Caribbean or the southern Gulf of Mexico by this weekend.

Acadiana should expect a lot of rain to fall over the next several days as the system moves toward the coast.

Forecasters expect this system to strengthen as it moves into the warmer waters of the Gulf of Mexico today.
