SUMMARY: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is set to replace its aging WP-3 Orion hurricane hunter aircraft with new C-130J aircraft. These modernized planes will feature advanced avionics, digital displays, and enhanced radar systems, allowing for a comprehensive three-dimensional view of tropical systems. The upgrades support NOAA’s ongoing research efforts in hurricane monitoring. Adjustments will be made for the structural design differences between the P-3s and C-130s, including finding new technology to replace certain radar systems. NOAA has ordered two C-130Js, with an option for four more, aiming to improve hurricane operations and studies, particularly in the Pacific.

SUMMARY: The National Hurricane Center has raised the chances of tropical cyclone development in the Gulf of Mexico to 40%. Possible developments may occur between Sunday and Tuesday, but anything formed is expected to steer away from the coastline until next Thursday. A cold front will aid in directing the system towards Florida. Meanwhile, current weather remains quiet with scattered showers but no tropical disturbance. Rain accumulation may be limited to about half an inch. Temperatures are around 70°F, with highs near 80°F expected this weekend, followed by a significant cool down early next week.
