Tuesday 12 PM Tropical Update: Possible development in Gulf of Mexico late this week
SUMMARY: On October 1st, weather updates focus on the Atlantic tropics. Tropical Storm Kirk is predicted to become a hurricane but will not impact land. An area of possible tropical development has a 40% chance, though significant concerns are unlikely due to unfavorable upper-level winds and increasing wind shear. Tropical moisture is expected to move into the Gulf, bringing rain later in the week, particularly affecting Florida and the Eastern Gulf Coast. Overall, the weather will be mostly sunny and warm with temperatures reaching the upper 80s, but prepare for scattered rain and storms starting Thursday through the weekend.
We will be watching the Gulf of Mexico later this week/this weekend for possible tropical development. Some good news is that it is not a guarantee, as the probability still sits at a 40% chance for development by the end of this week. We’ll be watching a large area of tropical moisture move north into the Gulf waters through the end of this week, lasting into early next week.
This moisture will likely reach the northern Gulf Coast by Thursday. The steering currents will be weak, so this tropical moisture will stick around through the weekend and early next week. With the tropical moisture all trapped in the Gulf, we could begin to see some areas of low-pressure form by this weekend, and a depression or tropical storm could begin to form. Luckily the trend has been for a weak, messy system thanks to dry air and wind shear. This is something to monitor though as plenty of uncertainty remains in the forecast.

Pelican Institute plan calls for tax reform, spending limits | Louisiana
SUMMARY: The Pelican Institute for Public Policy aims to reform Louisiana‘s fiscal strategy, emphasizing the phased elimination of income taxes, including corporate franchise taxes. The Institute stresses that tax reform needs to be coupled with strict spending controls to prevent instability, as seen in Kansas. Louisiana’s state spending has risen dramatically, creating a projected budget deficit of $500-700 million over three years. To counter unchecked spending, they propose limiting expenditure growth to population and inflation rates. Additionally, simplifying the complex tax code is advocated to enhance economic growth, potentially adding over $2 billion to the economy and creating 5,000 jobs within a year.
