🌟 [ 11 ]   Monday 5 PM Tropical Update: Development in the Gulf likely [ @WWLTV ]

Chief Meteorologist Chris Franklin says development in the Gulf could lead to our first named storm of the season. Not a threat for us. There are two areas of possible tropical development in the Atlantic Basin. An area of showers and storms near the Yucatan Peninsula in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico has a high chance for development early this week. It is expected to move west-northwestward into Mexico and possibly south Texas by the middle of this week. Additionally, there is a low chance for possible development in the western Atlantic Ocean near the Bahamas later this week which may lead to a small feature moving into the Southeast US late in the week. Watching for any updates on if this feature can trek west into the central Gulf Coast but it will have to contend with dry air first. Overall, there are no direct local impacts expected. However, tropical moisture moving into the region will lead to higher rain chances early this week. Plus, breezy conditions and minor coastal flooding is expected through midweek due to strengthening east winds as a result of the developing system in the southwestern Gulf.
