Gulf of Mexico

Right now, forecasters are watching a trough of low pressure over the western Caribbean. The National Hurricane Center will monitor that system for the possibility of further development by late-weekend as it approaches the southern Gulf of Mexico...

Think about then number 3 million. Three million is a lot of anything! A federal judge has determined that 3.19 million barrels of oil were released into the gulf by the BP oil spill.

The National Hurricane Center continues to monitor an area of weak low pressure over the northern Gulf of Mexico, south of the Louisiana coastline, for possible tropical development.

Early today (Tuesday)  the National Hurricane Center recognized an area of disorganized thunderstorms over the northern Gulf of Mexico, south of the Louisiana coastline, for possible tropical development.

Last week one day we had two tropical storms and a hurricane. None of them impacted the United States. If the current forecast holds it will be another such week.

You know how it works. Everyday we watch the storms path extended eastward. As the path is extended we learn more about the storms destination. The last extension on Dorian shows the storm could impact the gulf.
