Tracking the Tropics: Kirk may become a major hurricane and the Caribbean and Gulf storm threat i...

There are five Atlantic hot spots on the National Hurricane Center's Tropical Weather Outlook, and one of them is aimed at the Gulf of Mexico.
A weak area of low pressure looks to traverse the northern Gulf sometime between Thursday and Friday this week. Tropical moisture will be steered northward into Alabama, leading to a spread of clouds and some disorganized showers.
The weekend forecast looks good for now, but our next named storm could begin brewing in the Gulf late this weekend. It's a potential concern for Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida: especially for heavy rain, wind, rough surf, and rip currents this weekend and next week.
