Tropical Storm Francine is projected to strengthen into a hurricane by Wednesday, bringing heavy rains and a risk for considerable flash flooding to Louisiana.
Meteorologists closely monitor cyclone wind speeds, aiding in classifying storms as tropical or hurricanes, forecasting risks like strong winds and heavy rains.
As cyclones progress inland, flooding risk intensifies, with storms often unleashing over six inches of rain, causing drains to overflow and flash floods.
