BREAKING: Hurricane Francine makes landfall in Louisiana as a Category 2 storm.

Francine is the third and strongest hurricane to blast the United States so far this year with 100-mph winds.

The tropics are quiet for now only system I will be following is the one off the Carolina coast. If the system becomes a depression or storm I will update in here. If the percentage goes up will post in the weather group.

Next update if it effects Florida.

next update with these two systems will be when they become named storms.

That one in the gulf may be a problem.

Looks that way.
