Monday 12 PM Tropical Update: Tropical development is possible
SUMMARY: The National Hurricane Center has identified a cluster of clouds in the Atlantic with a 50% chance of development as it approaches the Bahamas later this week. The European model indicates potential development and movement toward the U.S. East Coast, while the GFS model suggests minimal development and only some rainfall for Florida and Cuba. Saharan dust and dry air may hinder strengthening. Locally, the forecast expects high temperatures around 94-95ยฐF, with heat indices reaching near 110ยฐF, prompting possible heat advisories. Higher rain chances may arise as a ridge of high pressure shifts westward this weekend.
The National Hurricane Center is highlighting a medium chance for tropical development in the next seven days. Right now there is almost nothing visible to track, but models show a low-pressure area could start to organize some as it moves from the western Atlantic Ocean to somewhere roughly around the northern Caribbean or Bahamas in the first couple of days of August.
Long-range models differ on the eventual outcome. The European model shows it will develop somewhere near the Bahamas next weekend and curve around high pressure in the Atlantic. This could take it just east of the US East Coast. The American model does not show much organization at all and just has messy moisture drifting into the Caribbean next weekend. There will be some dry, dusty air which could limit development.
This is just an early look. It’s too early to say how organized it will get or exactly where it could end up.
We’ll continue to watch closely through this upcoming week. Right now, there are no threats for our part of the Gulf Coast through the next seven days.

SUMMARY: Today‘s weather features some fading showers tracked by WDSU’s Doppler radar, primarily in the River Parishes and near marshy areas. Rain chances are decreasing as a warm front approaches, with temperatures expected to reach up to 91ยฐF this week. Tomorrow may see isolated showers, but overall conditions will improve with lower humidity heading into the weekend. Attention shifts to possible tropical development in the Yucatรกn Straits, with only a 20% chance of formation.
