An area of low pressure continues to develop in the northern Gulf of Mexico and could possibly become a tropical depression later today.
According to WWL-TV Meteorologist David Bernard, thunderstorms have increased near the low, which is located 250 miles southeast of New Orleans.
“A new center may be forming further south closer to the thunderstorm activity,” said Bernard. “If that trend continues, the depression could form later this afternoon.”
Based on movement of the low, Bernard said landfall could be expected over southeast Louisiana or the Mississippi Gulf Coast late tonight or early tomorrow.
The main effects would be slightly higher tides (1-2 feet) east of river to Pascagoula, but Bernard said if the storms hold together, we could see heavier thunderstorms.
Also, Bernard said because of gusty winds, a small craft advisory is in effect from the mouth of the river to Pascagoula.

I agree, Mobile Radar does depict a low forming further south within the convection, but this convection must sustain itself and that has yet to be seen.
