Do Louisiana and Texas Have to Watch For a November Storm?
While November hurricanes may be more rare, they're not impossible. Right now, forecasters are looking at the possibility we may add another to the list this month.
Actually, there's an outside chance that there could be two storms developing in the gulf right now. One disturbance has very low odds of developing into something, while another is being given a 70% or better chance of becoming something. Check out what forecaster Matt Devitt said last night online about these disturbances...
In his Friday statement, Devitt added 7 keys about the developments. One of those was a very important one for Louisiana and Texas residents:
"Don't stress yourself out this early. Enjoy the nice weather in the meantime. I'll keep you updated as necessary in the tropics, as always, with just the facts without the hype. Under a month until the official end of hurricane season. Almost there! Thanks everyone, have a great weekend."
This is very early on in the possible developments for these systems, so there's no need to panic or stress. But these are things to be aware of over the next couple days.
Another popular online forecasters posted about this development as well. Reed Timmer thinks the recipe shows the potential for a hurricane to form next week...
Even if this does develop into a hurricane, it is far too early to know where the theoretical hurricane would go. So like Devitt said, don't stress (yet).
