Great News For Louisiana Concerning The Possible Gulf Disturbance

LAKE CHARLES, LOUISIANA: Louisiana is still watching an area of interest in the Gulf of Mexico as it moves closer to the USA this week.

The Atlantic is bursting with activity right now spawning several powerful hurricanes at once, but luckily it appears they all will curve northward into the Atlantic Ocean and not threaten the USA mainland.

We have been keeping our eyes on an area of interest in the lower Gulf of Mexico/Caribbean Sea, and it looks like we finally have some good news to report.

Early this week, the outlook wasn't looking so good as the area of interest was being forecasted to form into two different storms in the Gulf at the same time.

However, our luck has changed for the best. Gulf weather expert Meteorologist Zack Fradella is now reporting that the timing of the cold front coming down to Louisiana will work to weaken the disturbance and is likely to keep it from forming into a named storm.

Fradella says in another post, they he doesn't think the Louisiana will see much rain at all from the low-pressure system as it will most likely just hang out in the Gulf as it's pushed towards Florida.

In the animated graphic below, you can see how the cold front will potentially act with the disturbance as it moves toward land in the Gulf.

In fact, the National Hurricane Center is so confident that the area of interest won't spawn a storm, that it has removed it completely from their advisories.
