The Gulf stays calm.
Hurricane forecasters are watching a mid-Atlantic Ocean tropical wave that they give a 70% chance of developing into a depression within the week. They predicted Saturday it will curve north, well away from the Gulf of Mexico. At 8 a.m., (Saturday) the storm system was about 1,100 miles east of the Leeward Islands and moving west at about 15 mph. The National Hurricane Center said a tropical depression is “likely to form” early next week. The 2023 return of El Niño, a set of Pacific Ocean conditions that affects weather worldwide, could bring more rain to Louisiana for the rest of this year but also a lower risk of hurricanes. Regardless, forecasters see an above-averge 18 names storms in the 2023 Atlantic basin hurricane season. Emily and Franklin are the next names available.
