11/4/2024 - 10am EST Advisory on new Tropical Depression 18 from NOAA NWS National Hurricane Center. The storm is forecast to become a hurricane in the next few days as it moves towards the Central Gulf. Forecasts have trended more to the west over the last 12 hours. We'll continue to monitor the forecast.

For the local area across the northeast Gulf, should this forecast hold we'll most likely see increased rain chances and higher winds/seas across our marine zones with the only land impacts for our region being breezy conditions Thursday into Saturday.
