OUTLOOK:

Drier air will move into the southeastern United States, while dew points for southeast Georgia and northeast Florida will remain in the 60 to 70 degree range. We will continue to have an unstable atmosphere primed for rain. Water in the atmosphere will remain at 2 inches. There will be humid late nights and early mornings. Fog may still develop early in the morning.

There is a potential for more moisture to enter the atmosphere as a low pressure area continues to develop over the western Gulf, as this area draws more moisture into the Gulf states, including Florida, and through Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi.

The chance of rain is currently 60 to 80 percent for the remainder of the work week.

IN SEARCH OF THE TROPICS:

So far, the Atlantic disturbances are not moving into Florida. However, the western Gulf disturbance is likely to have a minor indirect impact on Florida in the form of moisture, particularly for the Gulf counties.

WESTERN GULF

The low pressure continues to produce rain and thunderstorms. The composition of the low pressure and its characteristics make it likely that it will develop into a tropical depression or storm early this week. Multiple models currently show it moving from north to northwest towards Texas and LouisianaHurricane Hunters will assess the storm today. The chance of a formation occurring is 90 percent in the next 24 hours to seven days.

By Sunday evening, the system is moving northwestward in the western Gulf at 5 mph (7 kph). Although it is currently a disturbance, Air Force reconnaissance data indicates maximum sustained winds are around 50 mph (85 kph) with higher gusts. It is expected to become a tropical storm by Monday.

Possible Tropical Cyclone Six:

Possible rainfall of 4 to 8 inches with local amounts up to 12 inches

Impact: Parts of Mexico, Texas and Louisiana

CENTRAL TROPICAL ATLANTIC OCEAN

AL92 is currently a cluster of showers and thunderstorms and is showing development that could lead to a tropical depression. The location is currently approximately 43 W 14 N. Chance of formation: 60 percent in the next 48 hours and 70 percent in the next seven days.

EASTERN CENTRAL TROPICAL ATLANTIC OCEAN

A trough of low pressure that looks almost like a U-shaped curve is the location of possible development. It is located several hundred kilometers southwest of the Cape Verde Islands with a wide area of ​​unorganized rain and storms. It could slowly form into a tropical depression in the coming days. There is a zero percent chance of formation in the next 48 hours and a 50 percent chance of formation in the next 7 days.
