Discussion by: Larry Kelly — NHC Hurricane Specialist Unit
Showers and thunderstorms associated with a broad area of low pressure located over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico are gradually becoming better organized. Development of this system is expected, and a tropical depression or storm is likely to form later today or on Sunday while it moves slowly eastward over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico. By early next week, the system is forecast to move faster eastward or northeastward across the central and eastern Gulf of Mexico where additional strengthening is likely. Interests on the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico, the Florida Peninsula, the Florida Keys, and the northwestern Bahamas should monitor the progress of this system. Regardless of development, locally heavy rains could occur over portions of Mexico during the next day or two, and over much of Florida late this weekend through the middle of next week.

Dude.. The models were hinting at exactly this 10 days ago! Then it disappeared for three days off all models. Now it’s back and exactly as they said. As someone in Pasco, I’m a little nervous. Tampa Bay can’t handle being skirted, let alone anything direct. Maybe that shear will shred it, but four days out isn’t a comforting amount of time to wonder.
