Tropical Update – Hurricane Center Watching Disturbed Weather In The Gulf of Mexico

An area of showers and thunderstorms that has pushed westward across the Northern Gulf of Mexico over the past few days has attracted the attention of the National Hurricane Center.

Currently the prognosis for development of the system suggest that it will be nothing more than a poorly disorganized area of showers and thunderstorms.

The latest radar scan out of Lake Charles shows some of the convection associated with the storm system. The tropical forecast models suggest that the system will continue to move toward the west and should be inland over Texas in the next day or so.

Meanwhile Hurricane Cristobal continues move northward along the eastern seaboard of the United States. That system poses not threat to any major land mass at this time. There is also another tropical wave approaching the Lesser Antilles. Currently the forecast models don't give this system to much of an opportunity to develop over the next few days. However if the it manages to hold together over time it could move into a more favorable environment.
