What a difference a day makes with the path of a tropical disturbance. Yesterday, Tropical Depression Fourteen was tracking to make landfall in Houston but now it's looking more like the Sabine Pass area as it inches closer to SWLA.

Currently, Tropical Depression Fourteen is moving WNW at 12mph and has 35mph sustained winds. The National Hurricane Center is expecting the disturbance to strengthen into a Tropical Storm around 8:00am this morning and be a hurricane before making landfall.

Meteorologist Zack Fradella has been on our morning show several times for his knowledge and specialization in Gulf weather. Even he's unsure how both storms in the Gulf of Mexico will affect each other. This is going to be interesting.
