Tropical update: Tropical wave in Bay of Campeche now has a 70% chance of development
SUMMARY: Meteorologist Chris Ramirez reports the latest tropical update, noting that the Gulf of Mexico is being monitored for potential heavy rain this weekend. A disturbance in the Bay of Campeche has a 70% chance of developing within the next week. Currently disorganized, weather models suggest it may move into the southern Gulf, affecting Southeast Texas by Wednesday and Thursday. With a cold front retreating north, tropical moisture will likely bring rain back to coastal areas. As the peak of hurricane season continues, residents should stay alert for updates and potential impacts. The next named storm will be Francine.
Regardless of if it develops, the system should bring areawide rain to Southeast Texas.
