Hurricanes and tropical storms remain on the radar for LSU football fans throughout the fall. The 2024 hurricane season is nearing an end, but it's not over just yet with another potential development in the Gulf of Mexico.

Right now,  the storm remains unnamed and is referred to as "Potential Tropical Cyclone 18."

It's early in the forecasting stage, but if it develops, the storm could affect the LSU and Alabama game scheduled for Saturday night.

A message from the National Weather Service on Monday morning read: "The system is forecast to enter the Western Gulf of Mexico later this week, but given significant uncertainties in long-range forecast track and intensity, it is too soon to determine what if any, impacts could occur. Residents in this area should regularly monitor updates to the forecast."

Storm-affected games aren't a new thing for LSU. Several contests throughout the years were moved or rescheduled thanks to a hurricane or tropical storm. Given where we are in the season, rescheduling this one will be tough.

Neither school has an open date remaining.

If the storm continues to develop, look for LSU to put out a statement later this week.
