Here is just one model showing the potential for a hurricane coming up through the Gulf late next week. Currently named Invest 98L will likely form into a tropical storm in the next few days. If it stays on track and comes up through the Gulf the warm waters will certainly strengthen it. However as i said earlier its to soon to really say what is gonna happen but it is something to definitely keep a watch on.
