Now, for your tropical update. In the Atlantic, an area of disturbed weather near the Bahamas, South Florida, and the Florida keys is producing numerous showers and a few strong thunderstorms. Although thunderstorm activity has increased today, surface pressures are high and upper-level winds are marginally favorable for this to develop. This disturbance is expected to move into the Gulf by Tuesday. The National Hurricane Center is giving this system a low chance, 10%, of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours as it moves Northwestward around 15mph. Heavy rain will continue for South/Central Florida, the Northwestern Bahamas, and the Florida Keys over the next day or so. In the Eastern Pacific, an area of low pressure located about 275 miles South-Southeast of Manzanillo, Mexico is producing widespread cloudiness and scattered thunderstorms. Upper-level winds and other environmental conditions are becoming more conducive for a tropical depression to form over the next couple of days. The National Hurricane Center is giving this system a high chance, 60%, of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours as it moves West or West-Northwest at 10 to 15mph.
Hope yall are having a great Sunday and I'll have another post tomorrow morning.
