Good morning, Slidell.

Tropical Depression 2 formed Sunday morning in the Gulf and is expected to become Tropical Storm Bertha later this week.

Residents in southeast Louisiana should prepare for rain and gusty winds (forecasts show uncertainty in its final path).

A developing storm in the Gulf is likely to form into Bertha and track toward the area by Tuesday into Wednesday, while a heat advisory remains in effect today with temperatures near 95 — residents should monitor local forecasts for updates.

Gulf Coast agencies are using social media to coordinate storm preparations today in Slidell.

Officials plan to post safety tips, shelter updates (weather alerts) and changes in conditions to help residents stay informed as storms approach.

Pope John Paul II graduate Ella Babin will play fall softball at Baton Rouge Community College after overcoming injuries and obstacles.

She said playing near home + with supportive coaches and family fulfills her lifelong dream.
