BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) — Louisiana doesn't have to worry about potential tropical weather development right now, but we are monitoring the western Caribbean and southern Gulf of Mexico. A trough of low pressure in the western Caribbean is producing disorganized shower and thunderstorm activity. Further development is possible as this moves to the west and northwest. A tropical depression could form over the next few days. Until we see a well-defined center of low-level circulation, additional details about where and how it could develop will remain a little fuzzy. It has a 10% chance of development over the next two days and a 40% chance of development over the next seven days. The good thing is the development chances over the seven-day period were reduced to 40% from 50% yesterday.
