NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Remnants of Hurricane Ivan swung back into the Gulf of Mexico and developed into a tropical depression, prompting tropical storm warnings Wednesday in Louisiana and southeastern Texas.
The remnants kicked seas up several feet, posing a threat to fragile barrier islands and their beaches in both states, and forced some offshore oil and gas crews to head home.
The National Weather Service said the depression was likely to strengthen into a tropical storm by the time it makes landfall, possibly near Galveston, Texas, late in the week. Sustained winds as of Wednesday evening were 35 mph.
A tropical storm warning was issued from the mouth of the Mississippi River in Louisiana west to Sargent, Texas.
