Two tropical depressions are expected to move into the Gulf of Mexico later this weekend into early next week. https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ It is too soon to tell what impacts these may or may not have on the area. The EOC will be keeping an eye on Tropical depression 13 & 14 as they continue to develop. It’s that time of year. If you haven't made preparations, it would be a good time to review your plans against the information here: https://www.ready.gov/hurricanes
