“Western Gulf of Mexico (AL91): Showers and thunderstorms have increased this morning in association with a broad area of low pressure located over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico. This system is forecast to drift slowly northwestward during the next couple of days, and environmental conditions are expected to become conducive for additional development. A tropical depression is likely to form during the next couple of days as the system moves generally northwestward and then northward near or along the Gulf coast of Mexico and Texas through the middle of the week.”

“Interests along the western and northwestern Gulf Coast should closely monitor the progress of this system. Watches could be required for portions of the coast later today or tonight. An Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft is also scheduled to investigate the system later today,” says a National Hurricane Center bulletin putting the chances of formation into a named storm at 80 percent in the next 24 hours and 90 percent in the next 7 days. Well that definitely sucks for Texas.

“Central Tropical Atlantic (AL92): Showers and thunderstorms associated with an elongated area of low pressure over the central tropical Atlantic continue to show signs of organization. Environmental conditions appear conducive for additional development of this system, and a tropical depression could form while the system meanders over the central tropical Atlantic through Monday and then begins to move generally westward at around 10 mph through the rest of the week,” the bulletin continued, putting the chances of formation at 40 percent in 24 hours, 60 percent in 7 days.
