ORLANDO, Fla. - The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is continuing to monitor an area of low pressure along the southeastern United States coastline, which still has the possibility of developing into a tropical system, although the chances are dwindling.

Here's everything we know about the system and its potential impacts. 

What is the system? Where is it located?

What we know:

The NHC is tracking a trough of low pressure located just off the coast of southwestern Louisiana that continues to produce disorganized showers and thunderstorms.  

This system is moving westward, and it has limited time to develop before it moves inland over southwestern Louisiana or Texas tonight.

Regardless of formation, locally, heavy rainfall is likely over portions of the northwestern Gulf coast during the next couple of days.

Weather experts are currently giving the system a 10% chance of development over the next 48 hours and seven days. 

How could the system impact Florida?

Dig deeper:

Although there will be zero impacts on Florida, the moisture that originally came from the chance of tropical development two weeks ago was once again pushed through the Sunhine State, bringing us the rain we saw during this past week. This will bring once again lots of heavy rainfall to the Gulf coast of Texas and Louisiana. 

We are also keeping an eye on some tropical waves along the Atlantic, but with the dust in the atmosphere, it should keep things quiet for at least a little longer.

The 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season runs from July 1 through Nov. 30.
