Not Lousiana again. The state is starting off this hurricane season right where it left off last year: In the sights of another tropical system.
Tropical storm warnings are in effect from Intracoastal City, Louisiana, to the Alabama/Florida border, as Potential Tropical Cyclone (PTC) Three drifts toward the US. New Orleans is in the warning zone.
While landfall is expected on the Gulf Coast on Saturday, the storm’s effects will come well before then.
“A tropical storm warning means that tropical storm conditions are expected somewhere within the warning area within 36 hours,” according to the National Hurricane Center.
