Tropics remain active after Ida brings strong winds, flooding to Louisiana

TAMPA, Fla. - As Ida weakens to a tropical storm Monday morning, Louisiana faces massive power outages while residents begin to survey the damage. Meanwhile, other parts of the tropics remain active.

Tropical Depression Ten had strengthened into Tropical Storm Kate as of 10 a.m. The storm was located over 700 miles away away from the Leeward Islands and will continue to meander in the Atlantic.

FOX 13’s meteorologist Tony Sadiku says Kate has been battling wind shear and was in no hurry to develop. It will follow Julian out to sea.

"We’ll say, ‘Hi’ and ‘Goodbye’ to this one. [Julian] developed [Sunday] and is now post-tropical as it moves into cooler waters."

The NHC said it will stop issuing advisories for Julian starting Monday morning.

In addition, there is one area in the central Caribbean that has a low chance of developing.

"The other one rolling off the coast of Africa has an 80% chance of developing," Sadiku said. "Could we have Kate and then Larry this week? We’ll see."
