Hurricane hunter aircraft investigates Gulf storm threat
Original: Hurricane hunter flying to likely depression or tropical storm in Gulf
A hurricane hunter aircraft is being sent into the Gulf of Mexico to investigate a weather system expected to become a tropical depression or tropical storm. Forecasters use the flights to gather data on the disturbance's strength and structure, helping refine watches and warnings for Gulf Coast communities that may face heavy rain, wind and storm surge.
Why now: A potential tropical storm in the Gulf is an immediate concern for coastal residents tracking an escalating weather threat.
