RICHMOND, Va. (WWBT) – After a brief lull in the hurricane season the last couple of weeks, tropical trouble is heating up once again.
Tropical Storm Gamma formed near the Yucatan Peninsula and is now drifting through the Gulf of Mexico. Gamma is likely to remain a tropical storm as it meanders across the southwestern Gulf.
The bigger concern is a tropical disturbance currently moving across the Central Caribbean. Tropical Storm Delta has formed south of Jamaica and is expected to develop into Hurricane Delta over the next several days.
Forecast model guidance shows a hurricane hitting the coast of Louisiana, Alabama, and/or Mississippi by Thursday or Early Friday
