Tropical Depression Six (TD06L) formed in the Eastern Atlantic Ocean southwest of the Cape Verde Islands late Tuesday evening. TD06L has become better organized today. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) predicts that the tropical depression will intensify and become tropical storm Fiona later today. The tropical storm is predicted to become slightly more powerful while moving toward the northwest over the open waters of the central Atlantic. The GPM core observatory satellite collected data when TD06L was forming on August 16, 2016 at 2031 UTC. GPM data showed that the forming tropical

An extremely severe rainfall event hit the states of Louisiana and southern Mississippi when a very slow moving low pressure system continuously pulled tropical moisture from the Gulf Of Mexico. Measurements by the GPM core observatory satellite showed that rainfall intensity within the low pressure system actually increased on August 12, 2016 as the low settled over southeastern Louisiana. At least 4 people have died in record flooding after the unusually heavy rainfall starting falling last week. More than 27 inches (686 mm) of rain have been reported in the area. This is the second time

For the better part of a week, a persistent, mid-level area of low pressure has been tapping into warm, moist air to produce stormy weather in the northeastern Gulf Of Mexico. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) monitored this stormy area for possible development but unfavorable upper-level winds and the close proximity to land prevented development into a tropical system. However, during the past week from as much as 4 to over 15 inches (254-381 mm) of rain fell along the Gulf Coast from Tampa northward through the Big Bend to as far west as central Louisiana. So far the highest rainfall
