Yet another flooding event is possible, this time along the Gulf Coast on Thursday and Friday, as a tropical disturbance tracks toward Louisiana. The chance that the disturbance will turn into a tropical storm appears slimmer than it was earlier this week.

Low pressure is expected to emerge over the Gulf of Mexico this week and it may move into a favorable environment for tropical cyclone development.
