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 is monitoring a disturbance in the Caribbean. If the system develops it would likely move into the Gulf of Mexico later in the week.
“The computer models say, ‘Yeah, something could come back into the Gulf of Mexico late this week and even push up into the Southeast,’” said Severe Weather Team 2 Meteorologist Jennifer Lopez.

The exact path, strength and timing of this system is still unclear. But Lopez said if it were to impact Georgia, it would be at the end of the week and into the weekend.
“The chance of that happening right now is about 50%,” Lopez said.
Severe Weather Team 2 will monitor the system throughout the week and give you all the latest information to keep you and your family safe as more becomes clear.
