One of two disturbances being tracked by forecasters now has a moderate chance of developing into a tropical depression, according to the National Hurricane Center on Friday evening.
Forecasters also released another advisory on now Tropical Depression Laura, which was located near Paducah, Kentucky on Friday afternoon. The storm is expected to be absorbed by a cold front moving through the Appalachians on Saturday.
As of the 7 p.m. Friday update from NHC, it's too early to tell if the Atlantic disturbances could reach the Gulf of Mexico and be a threat to Louisiana.
Disturbance near Cabo Verde Islands
A tropical wave over the eastern Atlantic Ocean increased from a 30% to 40% chance of becoming a depression in the next 5 days, forecasters said Friday evening.
The system is expected to move slowly the next few days, and forecasters could see more development by the time the tropical wave reaches the central Atlantic.
Compared to the moderate chance of development the system has in the next five days, the formation chance in the next 48 hours is close to 0%.
Disturbance east of the Windward Islands
Located about 800 miles east of the Windward Islands, this disorganized system still has a low formation chance at 30% in the next 5 days.
Forecasters are tracking this tropical wave to the Lesser Antilles in the next several days as it moves west at 15 mph.
This system's chance of development in the next 48 hours is 20%.
Latest on Laura
Though Tropical Depression Laura is now over Kentucky, some rain is still forecast in southern Louisiana.
The NHC said Louisiana could see 1 to 2 inches of rain, with isolated amounts of 4 inches possible. Those conditions could also lead to flash and urban flooding and even flooded rivers.
