NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Just in time for the peak of hurricane season, all eyes are on the Gulf of Mexico as Francine makes its way toward the Louisiana coast.
Francine is expected to become a hurricane Tuesday afternoon and make landfall in Louisiana sometime between Wednesday afternoon and evening.
The track of the storm has it bringing heavy rain to the Mid-South, and NewsChannel 5 coverage area Thursday into Friday.
While rain is welcome, there are concerns for flash flooding with how dry the ground is, and the heavy amounts of rain anticipated. There is also a low threat we could see a tornado or two Thursday into Friday as the system passes the area.
This is an ever-changing system so stay tuned to the Storm 5 Weather Team for updates over the next several days.
This is a beautiful story of chosen family, proving a father figure doesn't have to have biology in common to make a difference in a child's life. The story of De'Andre and Alex will remind you that our relationships help determine the course of our lives. And that being supportive of someone - through a meal, a shared experience or even swim lessons can make all the difference.
