SUMMARY: Meteorologist P. Malone from WWL Louisiana reports on a potential tropical cyclone likely to strengthen into a hurricane in the Gulf. Expected to rapidly intensify, it could reach category 2 or 3 by Wednesday, with some models predicting category 4 before making landfall in Florida on Thursday. The projected path extends from Panama City to Tampa, prompting widespread preparation for a major hurricane. The system is turning north due to a weakening ridge and an approaching low-pressure trough. For updates, users can download the WWL app or stream on WWL Plus.

SUMMARY: Good Monday morning! Meteorologist Justin Horn forecasts a hot day with temperatures around 94°F, along with some showers and storms due to a nearby frontal boundary, particularly in the Hill Country. Expect a 30% chance of rain tomorrow, with drier air arriving by Wednesday morning that will clear and dry things out by the end of the week. A second front will influence the area while steering a potential major hurricane away from Texas, impacting Florida instead. Rain chances remain low in the upcoming days, with morning temperatures dropping to the 60s by Friday and Saturday.

Expect some isolated showers and storms next few days.
