BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - The National Hurricane Center (NHC) initiated advisories on Potential Tropical Cyclone #6 at 4 p.m. Sunday. Maximum winds are estimated near 50 miles per hour, but the system currently lacks a well-defined center, thus the potential tropical cyclone label. The use of that label allows NHC to issue watches and warnings, and a Tropical Storm Watch has been issued for parts of northern Mexico. However, additional watches are likely to be issued for parts of Texas and Louisiana either Sunday night or Monday morning.
