Tropical Storm Gordon is expected to become Hurricane Gordon before it makes landfall around the Mississippi Coast in the overnight hours Tuesday and early Wednesday morning, according to the latest forecast update.

The National Hurricane Center has issued a hurricane warning for portions of the Gulf Coast, now that models show Gordon will likely become a category 1 storm, making landfall between Louisiana and Alabama coastlines -- most likely on the Mississippi coast. The latest forecasts suggest coastal areas in that hurricane warning zone could receive 8 inches or more of rain and experience dangerous storm surge.

"A Hurricane Warning has been issued from the Mouth of the Pearl River to the Alabama-Florida Border," the NHC said at 4 p.m. Central Time Monday.

The new hurricane warning replaces the hurricane watch and tropical storm warning for the area. Also, the Tropical Storm Warning for the Upper Florida Keys and from Golden Beach to Chokoloskee, including Florida Bay, has been discontinued.

3. Moisture from the Gulf

Even the stprms in the Midwest are from moisture pumped up from the gulf. It's been a soaker here for days, and now a hurricane on top of it. The ground is saturated, but New Orleans will be okay.

Thanks much to the generosity of U.S. taxpayers who rebuilt us after Katrina. But some will say, it was the US Army Corps of Engineers levee breech flooding the city.

Whatever, the generosity of every person in the U.S. was/is never forgotten by south Louisiana/Miss. hurricane victims.
