Tropical Storm Gordon moves quickly towards the Gulf of the Gulf, possibly a life-threatening "storm".
Tropical Storm Gordon moved quickly Monday through the eastern Gulf of Mexico when wind power rose to 60 mph, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) said. It is expected to make the ground a typhoon on Tuesday, the NHC said.
Until 11pm Monday night, Gordon is located about 330 km southeast of the Mississippi River mouth and moves west-northwest to 17 mph.
A warning storm occurred from the mouth of the Pearl River along the Mississippi-Louisiana border to the Alabama-Florida border, which meant an expected storm situation. The storm is expected to drop yesterday afternoon.
Heavy rain from Gordon will affect southern Alabama, south of Mississippi and southern Louisiana, with numbers that can reach as high as 8 inches in some areas. Flash flood is also possible.
"Life-threatening" storm surges can also occur west of Shell Beach (Louisiana) to Dauphin Island (Alabama), the NHC said.

New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell issued an emergency situation for the city and said all city offices would be closed Tuesday.
Residents along the Mississippi coast began taking precautions, CBS WWL-TV affiliates New Orleans reported.
The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency warned that Gordon could make landslides a Category 1 storm on Tuesday night, reports WWL-TV. Authorities have told residents to set up several locations where people can pick up sand bags.
"You get attention when there is a typhoon in the bay," said Anthony Trosclair, Battalion Battalion.
The Biloxi Fire Department will keep the eye in a low area. Trosclair told WWL-TV children who were preparing to do a quick water rescue in addition to other emergencies.
The threat of storms came amid massive flooding in the Midwest, due to slow storms that caused flooding and warnings from Kansas to Nebraska, stretching to parts of Iowa and northern Illinois.
Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Florence continues to gain strength over the eastern Atlantic on Monday, about 980 miles west of the Cabo Verde Islands.
Florence moves northwest-northwest near 16 mph and a maximum maximum wind of 65 mph. There is no current watch or beach warning.
