Tropical Update
Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
200 AM EDT Sat Sep 7 2024
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
1. Southwestern Gulf of Mexico:
A tropical wave over the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms over Guatemala, southeastern Mexico, and the adjacent waters of the southwestern Gulf of Mexico. The wave is expected to move over the Bay of Campeche later today, and an area of low pressure is forecast to develop while interacting with a frontal boundary. Environmental conditions are forecast to be conducive for development, and a tropical depression could form during the early or middle part of next week while the system moves slowly northwestward over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...40 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...60 percent.
2. Eastern and Central Tropical Atlantic:
An elongated trough of low pressure over the eastern and central tropical Atlantic is producing a broad area of shower and thunderstorm activity. A more well-defined area of low pressure may form within this region during the next few days. Some slow development of this system is possible while the disturbance meanders through the early part of next week, then begins to move west-northwestward across the central tropical Atlantic during the middle to latter part of next week.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...30 percent.
