Hurricane forecaster say a tropical wave in the Gulf is showing signs of strengthening. How will that affect our weather this weekend?

The Hurricane Center is monitoring a "spin" in the atmosphere just off Louisiana's coast.

Ida is expected to be a major hurricane when it makes landfall in Louisiana. Here's the latest on what to expect.

The Houston Chronicle reports a lot of people in the weather forecasting business say it's time to discard the old "Category 1-5" system of rating the strength of hurricanes. They say that system -- known as the Saffir-Simpson Scale -- only tells us the storm's wind speed. It says little about the storm's tidal surge which causes the most deaths and property damage.

We knew it couldn't last.  We went two full months into hurricane season without a tropical storm anywhere near Texas or Louisiana, but we may not be able to feel safe for much longer.  There's now a storm "out there" that could very well come our way and cause major problems.

The National Hurricane Center has released its hurricane forecast for the upcoming Atlantic hurricane season that begins June 1st.  There's a sliver of good news in this forecast, because the experts are expecting fewer storms than we've seen in recent years.
