Watching the Gulf of Mexico for what could become #Francine this week. People should stay on high alert all along the Gulf Coast. The tropics overall may be waking up after a long nap as well. More details in the National Forecast with Meteorologist Bo Cole. Stay tuned!

#PTC6 otherwise known as Potential Tropical Cyclone 6 could become Tropical Storm #Francine as soon as tomorrow, and then maybe even a Hurricane midweek. This situation could escalate quickly. The entire Gulf Coast needs to be on alert. Stay tuned for more! Meteorologist Bo Cole

⚠️ Evacuation orders are in effect for many locations on the northern Gulf Coast.

It is critical to heed these, as conditions will rapidly deteriorate ahead of #Francine, and by the time you realize you should have left, it may be too late.
