Hurricane Hunter aircraft went up early to track the newly formed depression, to find... it was a Tropical Storm.

Becuase of this Tropical Storm warngings are up for Mississippi and the Southeast Louisiana Coasts.

This is the 2nd storm of the season, and the one in the atlantic may not be far behind. We'll keep watch. For now, lots of Rain along this part of the gulf coast.
