A weather system crossing the Florida Panhandle is likely to develop into a tropical depression as it nears the Gulf Coast with a 40% chance of intensification. It poses risks of heavy rain, with New Orleans expecting 3 to 10 inches through Saturday. The impact of the system will vary based on its offshore travel. Local volunteers are actively providing sandbags to residents in anticipation of flooding, especially after recent severe flood events in neighboring regions. If named, the system will be referred to as Dexter.
The weather system moving across the Florida Panhandle has a 40% chance of becoming a tropical depression as it moves west over the Gulf toward southeastern Louisiana.
New Orleans is bracing for 3 to 5 inches of rain through Saturday, with some areas potentially seeing up to 10 inches, especially near the coast.
Volunteers and local officials are actively helping residents prepare for the potential flooding by distributing sandbags to mitigate the impact of heavy rain.
The system currently has no assigned name but will be called Dexter if it evolves into a named storm during the ongoing Atlantic hurricane season.
