Low Pressure System to Move Into Gulf — Formation Likely (Update 9/19/14)

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.

Today we have a broad area of low pressure that has a 80% chance of developing in the next five days as it moves across the Yucatan and over the warm waters of the Bay of Campeche. From there it is expected to move into the Southern Gulf of Mexico where conditions are favorable for development. Then the current forecast calls for another Mexican landfall. We will keep an eye on this system.
