Another tropical system could move into the Gulf of Mexico this week

ATLANTA — Just days after Helene moved through Georgia, leaving major damage, flooding and at least 17 lost lives, another tropical system could be moving in.

Severe Weather Team 2 Chief Meteorologist Brad Nitz is monitoring a disturbance in the Caribbean. If the system develops it would likely move into the Gulf of Mexico later in the week.
