Tropical storm watches have been issued along areas of the Gulf Coast from Texas to Louisiana due to a potential tropical storm that may form in the Gulf of Mexico, according to an advisory from the National Weather Service (NWS) on Tuesday.
The watch was issued for the northwestern Gulf Coast, spanning an area from Sargent, Texas, to Morgan City, Louisiana. A watch means that tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch area within the next 24 to 36 hours, it said at around 10 a.m. ET on Tuesday.
