Tropical Depression Nicholas is lingering over southeastern Texas and Louisiana, creating dangerous flooding conditions in the region.  Elsewhere in the tropics, the low east of the central Bahamas has a high chance of developing into a depression during the next five days.  Computer models indicate that this system will stay well east of Florida.  The wave in the eastern Atlantic has a high chance of becoming our next depression.  We’ll keep an eye on it, but it’s a long way away from us.  Finally, another wave expected to emerge from the African coast late this week has a low chance of developing during the next five days.
