Tropical Storm Gordon is moving west in the Atlantic Ocean Saturday but poses no current threat to southeastern Louisiana, according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami.

Tropical Storm Gordon, the seventh named storm of what's predicted to be an extremely active 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, was on the move far out over open waters Saturday, where it's expected to continue for a few days without posing a threat to land.

Tropical Storm Gordon, which became a named storm Friday, was forecast to weaken into a depression on Sunday. In its 5 p.m. AST update, the National Hurricane Center said Gordon had maximum sustained winds of 45 mph.

Tropical Storm Gordon is struggling to strengthen this morning. The storm will move into a very dry and stable environment, meaning it will most likely weaken further over the next few days as it slowly moves through the Atlantic.

Tropical Storm Gordon formed Friday in the deep Atlantic Ocean, and while it was expected to slightly strengthen over the next few days, it appears to pose no threat to land.
