As high pressure builds over the southern United States next week, the northern Gulf to areas along the central Gulf coast will be the zone to watch for tropical development.

The National Hurricane Center has highlighted an area it's watching in the Gulf. Right now, there's a low chance for development.

The VVA told Newsweek that it hoped that the release of documents regarding the assassinations of Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy and President John F. Kennedy, which Trump ordered upon his return to the White House, would persuade the administration to declassify other documents.

Likening the system to a merry-go-round, Pilié said weather forecasting models Thursday showed the storm doing a full loop around the southeast U.S. before circling back to the Gulf Coast, bringing increased rain chances and the potential for tropical development late next week.

A system that has been producing heavy rain and thunderstorms across Florida could become a tropical depression later this week, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Parts of Louisiana and Mississippi are bracing for heavy rainfall in the region. Some areas could get hit with more than 10 inches of rain through Saturday. In New Jersey, more than a dozen people were injured after a lightning strike and one person was killed.

A system that landed in Louisiana Thursday currently does not have any chance of forming, but it will still bring more heavy rains and potential flooding to southern Louisiana Friday and Saturday.  The region remains under a flood watch after much of the New Orleans area was left unscathed Thursday.

Flooding was possible across some parts of Southeast Texas, mainly east of Interstate 45, and in East Texas along the Texas-Louisiana border.
