Tropical Depression Threatens Gulf Coast | Global News

A tropical depression in the northern Gulf of Mexico is poised to strengthen into a storm, bringing dangerous winds, life-threatening storm surges, and flash flooding across multiple states. Moving slowly at just 3 mph, it’s expected to linger along the northern Gulf Coast, with storm conditions possible as early as Tuesday. Wind gusts up to 40 mph, surges of up to 4 feet in Louisiana and Mississippi, and heavy rain—up to 5 inches in some areas—could cause major disruptions. A tropical storm watch is in effect from Florida to Louisiana, with isolated tornadoes possible in Florida’s Big Bend region. Residents should prepare now for a potentially devastating impact.
