Lets Talk Tropics! July 17, 2026 Owen Power [vShoxrLogbG]

Two areas are being watched by the National Hurricane Center. One area may be in the northeast Gulf! I'll look at the models and see if tony dokoupil there's any concern for us in Acadiana!

A daily chat about what's going on in the Tropical Weather World with Meteorologist Dave Baker. We'll look at the Tropical Weather Outlook, check satellites, and determine what tropical waves have the potential to develop into full tropical systems. There will be forecasting tools, action collective as well as real time information when tropical weather threatens the northern Gulf Coast. There will also be preparation, evacuation, and recovery information to keep you and your family safe!
