Tropical Storm Delta has formed, forecast to strike Gulf Coast later this week

(WKRN) — Tropical Depression 26 has now strengthened to become Tropical Storm Delta.

The forecast is for it to intensify into Hurricane “Delta” this week and strike the United States Gulf Coast by Friday, possibly as a Category 2 storm. 

Of course, 5 days out, details are subject to change, but residents along the Gulf Coast from the Texas/Louisiana border to the Alabama/Florida border should be keeping a close eye on this system and prepare to take action.
