The storm's track has once again shifted slightly more to the west.

Acadiana should expect a lot of rain to fall over the next several days as the system moves toward the coast.

There is a lot of uncertainty as to where this system will go. However, it is forecast to become a tropical storm by later today.

The center of the storm should pass just to the west of Pensacola during the day today.

Tropical Storm Sally is strengthening in the Gulf of Mexico this morning heading for landfall sometime tomorrow on the northern Gulf Coast.

Tropical weather watches and warnings have been posted for areas east of Morgan City to the Florida Panhandle.

Two of the areas of disturbed weather could become tropical depressions over the next few days.

Tropical Depression Eight could become a tropical storm in the Gulf as it slides south of Louisiana's coast.

One of those systems is expected to be in the Gulf of Mexico by tomorrow.

There have already been five named storms so far this season. We've not seen five named storms this early in the hurricane season since 2005.
