A tropical threat on the Gulf coast has a 40% development possibilities in a tropical depression in the next 48 hours, according to the National Hurricane Center.
It is likely that the system, which could currently be considered a tropical storm or a tropical disturbance, bring strong rains to the central coast of the Gulf for days, especially to Louisiana.
It is expected that disturbance will move along the coast, but the closer to the shore, the less possibilities it will have to become a tropical depression or storm, since these climatic patterns need time on the water to develop, although a change in a more southern track would give you the opportunity to gain steam.
An flood clock will enter into force on Wednesday afternoon for parts of Louisiana and Mississippi.
This tropical disturbance is expected to produce a long -term strong rain and, if it becomes a tropical storm, it would be called Dexter.
It is generally expected that rain totals will be between 2 and 6 inches, but the National Meteorological Service is highlighting some localized areas that are expected to receive up to 15 inches in the region.
In other places, strong showers and thunderstorms are expected on Wednesday in Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Maryland and New Jersey, with rain rates of more than 2 inches per hour.
