A tropical disturbance currently located near Central America is being closely monitored as forecasts indicate it could head for the Gulf of Mexico over the next several days.
It is too early to know for certain where it is headed or what it will be when it gets there, but now is the time to prepare if you live along the Gulf Coast.
Franklin is on track to become a hurricane as it spins toward Bermuda over the next several days.
At this point, the forecast calls for Franklin to be approaching the island nation Monday night as a strong Category 2 hurricane.
For the U.S., Franklin will mean an increased danger of rip currents and rough seas along the East Coast.
