Local meteorologists are monitoring the Gulf Coast as Tropical Storm Francine develops. It is forecasted to move toward Texas’s neighbor to the east, Louisiana.
The National Hurricane Center warned Louisiana residents that the storm could strengthen to become a hurricane by Wednesday. The National Weather Service placed the Louisiana coast under a hurricane and storm surge watch. Eric Berger, a meteorologist with Space City Weather, wrote that he does not anticipate the potential for much or any flooding—with the possible exception of areas immediately along the Texas coast.
CenterPoint Energy raised some alarm bells over the weekend as the utility provider announced it was instituting preventative measures ahead of the storm. These efforts included stationing crews throughout the region, pre-storm vegetation management and securing additional resources.
