The National Weather Service has been busy keeping officials in Southeast Texas and Louisiana informed of impending formation of a tropical depression — or maybe Hurricane Barry.

And while the Wednesday afternoon forecast put the storm more to our east, we’re still not out of danger.

Roger Erickson, meteorologist with the National Weather Service-Lake Charles, said Southeast Texas was still in the zone and until the storm actually turns to Louisiana, forecasters couldn’t say for sure where the storm would make landfall.

“This is one of those situations where you need to stay vigilant in Southeast Texas. Keep track of it, watch the local news and look for weather info from us,” Erickson said.

The meteorologists were set to revisit the situation Thursday.
