Still cloudy with rain in the forecast. Watching the Gulf as a tropical wave get better organized!

All this moisture overhead is due to a tropical wave overhead. As this system moves into the gulf we have more clouds and rain in the forecast. You can expect this pattern of clouds and rain to be with us through the weekend now. This tropical wave has the potential to become our next depression or storm by Friday. It is looking like it will stay in the western gulf effecting Louisiana and Texas over the weekend. The only problem is the computer models are all over the place as this is still the beginning of a potential storm. So some changes are likely down the road. 
 
Katia is near hurricane strength and is staying out in the Atlantic.
