Satellite images from Aug. 31 show Hurricane Irma far out over the Atlantic. (NOAA)As Harvey moves away from the Gulf Coast, a new storm is brewing in the Atlantic and forecasters are monitoring the potential for yet another storm in the Gulf of Mexico. Hurricane Irma is expected to become a formidable cyclone, and its path puts the Caribbean and the Southeast U.S. coast at risk. Specifically, we’re concerned about a possible storm in the western Gulf of Mexico — near Texas — early next week. It seems likely that something will form, and it could have an impact on the Texas coast or areas farther east, sometime between Wednesday and Friday.
