Tracking Gulf disturbance; Cooler readings for now

COLUMBUS, Ga. (WRBL)- The area of low pressure in the Gulf has been struggling this afternoon and remains disorganized. The National Hurricane Center still maintains a 40% chance of development over the next two days. If it becomes named, it will be called Dexter.

This system will continue to move westward, and regardless of whether it becomes organized, will bring heavy rainfall and possibly flash flooding to Louisiana Thursday-Saturday.

End of the Work Week: We can expect isolated showers and storms to continue for the remainder of the week. Temperatures will trend a little cooler, sitting in the lower 90s through Friday. Expect winds up to 15 mph.

Weekend: Rain chances will back off slightly this weekend. More sunshine will allow for afternoon temperatures to warm back into the upper 90s by Sunday. Heat Index readings will sit in the low 100s.

Next Week: We will be tracking another round of dangerous heat for the start of next week. Highs will be close to 100 degrees in some areas, and feel like temperatures are expected to approach 105. Summer storms will build once again next week.
