The low beginning to develop over the northwestern Gulf will bring us heavy rain up to 10” in some areas and dangerous coastal conditions through early Saturday. The NHC gives this a 10% chance of becoming a named storm, but our impacts will be the same regardless. Stay weather aware! WVUE FOX 8

While we don’t know if the wave will develop, it does seem like, at least initially, it is headed for the Caribbean. The heat available in the Caribbean is always copious, but this summer it’s extra copious - at record levels.
Hot water is only one factor, but it’s significant.

New tonight: NHC is monitoring the central Tropical Atlantic where an area of low pressure could form over the next few days. This system has a low chance (20% 🟡) of TC formation over the next 7 days.

Hurricane season is called to go pass November stay ready!!!

This tropical wave in the Bahamas is the one I’m keeping my eye on as it enters the Gulf this weekend. Again, the signal for a storm isn’t very high but you watch these things closely at this time of year. Better rain chances look to be the big impact by the middle of next week.
