The tropical development in the northern Gulf of Mexico this week is expected to be limited due to its close proximity to land, but it will still pose a danger for the millions who reside across the region.

A system was detected off the Atlantic Coast of Florida and is expected to move into the northern Gulf Coast and develop into a tropical depression.

A tropical disturbance is tracking toward Louisiana. The chances that it turns into a tropical storm are dropping, but localized flooding Thursday and Friday is possible.
