CBC News reports:
Tropical Storm Francine, which developed in the Gulf of Mexico Monday, is expected to strengthen into a hurricane Tuesday and make landfall Wednesday over Louisiana, the National Hurricane Center says.
“Francine is anticipated to be just offshore of the coasts of northeastern Mexico and southern Texas through today,” the center said early Tuesday, “and make landfall in Louisiana on Wednesday. Francine will likely become a hurricane today, with significant strengthening expected before it reaches the coast.”
A hurricane warning was in effect Tuesday morning for the Louisiana coast from Sabine Pass to Morgan City. A hurricane watch was posted for the Louisiana coast from Morgan City eastward to Grand Isle.

HWRF is now in the 960s mb, increasing the likelihood of a Category 3 at landfall. Models are really honing in on central #Louisiana. If #Francine moves more east, then New Orleans will be on the *dirtier side* of the storm with more impacts. #Tropicswx #wxtwitter pic.twitter.com/iGC66ZXCQ3
