A tropical storm or depression may form soon over the northern Gulf. Meteorologists expect it to move rapidly inland, bringing rain and flooding to parts of Texas and Louisiana. Strong rain and thunderstorms are currently located about 160 kilometers south of the Louisiana coast and could organize into a depression or tropical storm.

The system is expected to have a short duration, moving inland near the Texas-Louisiana border by Monday night or Tuesday morning. The next named tropical cyclone in the Atlantic is Edouard. Hurricane hunters were scheduled to fly over the system on Monday.

Further details about the potential storm are available from meteorologists Briana Waxman and Chris Dolce, CNN.
