We have been watching this area of low pressure for a few days as it moved through the Caribbean Sea. NOAA is now predicting it will enter the Gulf of Mexico later this week.
We are all waiting for the arrival of fall. We had a little taste of it last week. One good thing about cooler weather is that it usually signals the end of hurricane season. Well we jumped back up into the 90's and just to let us know the season is not over yet ... we have a new low pressure system to watch.
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.
This is the most tropical activity we have seen so far this year. To this point mother nature has spared us ... unless you have vacationed in Cancun at the wrong time this year.
We wake up on a Saturday Morning to a tropical weather map dotted with four areas of disturbed weather. One of them looks like it develop further in the next week.
The first of these tropical waves is out in the Atlantic (about 450 miles east of the Lesser Antilles). The other one is just moving off the coast of Africa..
Here we are headed into the Labor Day weekend and it looks to be Tropical Weather free for us. There is a system of disturbed weather moving over Florida though.
The Southern Bay of Campeche is looking anything but "peachy" this morning. A low pressure system coming off the Yucatan Peninsula could develop. It is certainly that time of year.
The disturbance that we watched cross the Yucatan Peninsula earlier this week has dissipated. Advisories have been discontinued. Tropical Storm Erin is expected to do the same in the middle of the Atlantic;but Mother Nature is brewing another.
