MIAMI, Florida (CNN) -- The storm formerly known as Hurricane Ivan is gathering strength in an encore visit to the Gulf of Mexico.

This time it's a tropical storm spinning toward Texas and threatening to cause flooding in Louisiana.

In what has been an extremely active hurricane season, east coast Floridians once again remained vigilant as Hurricane Jeanne in the Atlantic Ocean appeared to be driving toward the state that has already weathered three lethal hurricanes since mid-August.

While Alabama endured the bulk of Hurricane Ivan's 130 mph winds, the weather system carved a destructive trail from Alabama into western North Carolina and spawned deadly tornadoes over Florida's Panhandle.

An Ivan remnant broke from the main storm system, headed south in the Atlantic, crawled over Florida and now packs 60 mph winds -- 14 mph shy of becoming a hurricane once more.

Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center in Miami said Tropical Storm Ivan was unlikely to gather much more strength but would bring heavy rains and possible floods as it draws closer to shore and makes landfall in the next 24 hours.

A tropical storm warning is in effect from the mouth of the Mississippi River in Louisiana to Sargent, Texas, about 65 miles southwest of Houston.

Potentially more dangerous is Hurricane Jeanne, now with 105 mph sustained winds as it churns slowly toward the Bahamas. The hurricane center predicts Jeanne will hit Florida's east coast late Sunday or early Monday, possibly as a Category 3 major storm.

A tropical storm watch was in effect Thursday for the central Bahamas, and the hurricane center said a hurricane watch may be required for the northwestern Bahamas later in the day as the storm begins a more definitive move to the west.

Far from any shores, Tropical Storm Lisa lurks behind Jeanne.

Tropical Storm Bonnie pounded Florida as the forerunner to the August 13 dousing from Hurricane Charley, which whipped Florida as a Category 4 storm with 145 mph winds. Charley spun from Florida's southwest corner to its northeast coast and was the strongest storm since Andrew in 1992.

Two weeks later, another Category 4 storm -- Hurricane Frances -- hit Florida on the opposite side, exiting the state on the northwest after a near-crawl over the center.

And then came Ivan. It brought more rain, more floods and more death.

Florida disaster officials attributed 22 deaths to Ivan, 30 to Frances and 27 to Charley.

The storms had a far deadlier effect on Haiti, where Haitian officials said more than 1,100 people died. More deaths were expected as floodwaters recede and disease spreads through a populace struggling with an insufficient health care system and a lack of potable water.
