Gulf Coast Potential Hurricane This Weekend

It appears that a tropical system will be forming rather rapidly and moving up towards the Gulf Coast. Projections as of now, have a system with a 100% chance of tropical cyclone development (per NHC). This will move almost due north , and is projected to make landfall just east of New Orleans. 

Again, with Hurricanes and Tropical Systems, it is the upper right quadrant with the worst winds (storm surge) and violent weather (tornadoes), while the heavier rains will remain on the west, SW side. 

This would be named Karen once she becomes named. 

09:07- just recieed word that the disturbance has now been named Karen and Hurricane Watches are posted along the Northern Gulf Coast.
