The National Hurricane Center on Wednesday was tracking four disturbances in the Atlantic, including Tropical Storm Paulette and Tropical Depression Rene.
The named storms are not expected to pose a threat to Louisiana, but it's too early to tell what the disturbance near Africa's west coast could do.
The shaded area on the graphic is where a storm could develop and is not a track. The National Hurricane Center releases a track when a system develops or is about to develop into a tropical depression.
Here's what to know about the tropics as of 7 a.m. Wednesday from the National Hurricane Center.
