Transcript of: Harsh weather threatens Gulf region
BRIAN WILLIAMS, anchor:
One more note from the gulf tonight. Tonight far southern
Louisiana
is dealing with a small but powerful storm. The center of your screen there, that could grow, they fear, into almost cyclone strength. It blew up late today at the tip of the delta and could cause damage before it's over. And while we're not ready to say this is the next big storm to come along, there is another one, an area worth watching in the western
Caribbean
just south of the gulf. It's a tropical wave officially right now. It could develop into a
tropical depression
. The problem is gulf waters are extremely warm right now for this
time of the season
. So it may be a very long
storm season
ahead.
