Three potential trouble spots are being monitored for further development this morning.

The Gulf South is getting a bit of a breather from tropical weather but that could change as we are still near the peak of the tropical season in Louisiana.

As the Gulf South awaits a cold front this week, the tropical Atlantic Basin remains quite active with two named tropical systems.

The tropical Atlantic Basin remains very active. So far the prognosis for Louisiana and the Gulf of Mexico looks pretty good but that could certainly change.

The worst of the wet has now pushed off to the east but a flood threat remains over south Louisiana through the end of the week.

Rains from Tropical Storm Nicholas will soon be felt across Louisiana's coastline. Some flood watches have already been posted.

A strengthening tropical wave could bring rainfall amounts of 10 inches or more to some parts of South Louisiana next week.

A tropical wave is expected to move into the Gulf of Mexico early next week. Forecasters say there is a potential for further development.

The same bit of ocean that gave birth to Ida and Mindy is now being watched for potential tropical development over the weekend.

This stubborn area of disturbed weather is moving closer to Louisiana's coastline, however, impacts are expected to be minimal.

Forecasters are keeping their eyes on a system that is almost due south of Lafayette this morning. Here's where they think it will go next.

The Gulf of Mexico is being monitored for tropical development later next week.
