NEW YORK-A tropical or subtropical depression could form in the Gulf of Mexico or the western Atlantic over the next day or two, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said in a report.The NHC will name the next two tropical storms Noel and Olga. Tropical storms pack winds of 39 to 73 miles per hour, while tropical depressions have winds below 39 mph.In the Gulf, a low-pressure system could become a tropical or subtropical depression as it moves northwest at about 10 mph.All of the weather models show the Gulf system will make landfall in Louisiana after crossing the oil and natural gas producing northern Gulf Coast over the next day or so.
Forecaster AccuWeather said there is a chance the Gulf system could become a tropical or subtropical depression before it makes landfall over southern Louisiana by Thursday evening.AccuWeather noted the system would likely not have time to develop into much of a tropical system.A subtropical system has high winds and thunderstorms near the outer edge of the system, while a tropical system has high winds and thunderstorms near the center.Hence, the biggest damage caused by a tropical system is usually near the center of the storm, while in a subtropical system the most damage is closer to the outer edge of the storm.
