Hurricane Delta is emerging back into the Gulf of Mexico after making landfall on the Yucatán Peninsula as a Category 2 storm, the National Hurricane Center said. It has weakened, but it's expected to regain power before approaching the U.S. Coast Friday.
A large part of the northern Gulf Coast is under a storm surge watch, from High Island, Texas, to the Alabama/Florida border. Forecasters have issued a hurricane watch from High Island to Grand Isle, La. Parts of Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi are also under a tropical storm watch.
From Friday to Saturday, Delta is forecast to bring 4-8 inches of rain to areas from the Gulf Coast to parts of the Lower Mississippi Valley. Isolated totals up to 12 inches are also possible in some areas.
