National Weather Service forecasters, in an overview released this morning, say Tropical Depression 9 is expected to move northwesterly in the Gulf of Mexico and be in the mid-Gulf in the next two days before curving to the Northeast later in the week.
However, the same report says the track and intensity “still has a large degree of uncertainty,” and the tropical depression is expected to strengthen into a tropical storm.
“At this point, we suggest that everyone continue to monitor the forecasts closely,” Mayor Andrew “FoFo” Gilich said today. “There’s no reason to be alarmed. Just have a plan and work your plan.”
