“The timeline here is like later this week or next weekend, and having this low pressure moving up into the dental part of the Gulf of Mexico, and of course where it goes from there is anybody’s guess.

“It bears watching from the perspective of Louisiana, but we’re not likely to see anything until the latter part of this week and on into the weekend, and again we’ll just keep a close watch on it and see what ultimately forms.”
