High chance of tropical development

We are officially in hurricane season and some activity is developing just south of the Gulf of Mexico. News 25’s Taylor Rubach gives us the details on how to stay prepared.
The weather on Sunday afternoon was calm and sunny, but those conditions are predicted to change with the recent activity spotted near the Yucatan Peninsula. This is activity that Harrison County Emergency Management Director Rupert Lacy says could potentially form into a tropical depression or storm. “It has shown over the last couple of days, a better than average potential to develop. This afternoon we’re looking at 70 percent development in 48 hours, two days in the five day time period of course, that had jumped up to a 90 percent which is high for a tropical development.”
According to Lacy, beginning Monday to next Monday we will experience an astronomical high tide of about two feet due to the southerly flow pushing in more water. “Whatever it does, if it develops into a tropical-low or could become a sub-tropical type situation along the Mississippi Gulf Coast, we will see or could see the impacts of rain going into the latter part of the week.”
The track of the storm is still uncertain, but Lacy explains now is the time to start preparing for possible tropical or hurricane activity with main essentials like flashlights, food, and water supply and weather radios to know the status of storm development.
Hurricane Hunters are scheduled to track the development and have more details.
