The sixth named storm of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season has strengthened to a tropical storm and is expected to make landfall in the US as a hurricane.

Tropical Storm Francine formed around 11am ET on Monday, upgraded from a tropical rainstorm in the Bay of Campeche over the weekend.

By Wednesday, Francine is forecast to strengthen into a hurricane.

‘Francine is expected to bring heavy rainfall and the risk of considerable flash flooding along the coast of northeast Mexico, the far lower and far upper Texas coasts, southern Louisiana, and southern Mississippi into Thursday morning,’ stated the National Hurricane Center.

‘A significant storm surge also is expected along the Texas and Louisiana coasts.’
