SUMMARY: The tropics are active, with a new area to monitor as we approach the end of the week. While we don’t expect it to develop into a significant storm like Hurricane Helen, the potential for a weak low pressure system exists. Rain is likely by Thursday and Friday, with moisture lingering in the Gulf through the weekend. Models are uncertain, but there’s a 50/50 chance of a tropical depression or storm forming. Meanwhile, other tropical systems, including Hurricanes Isaac and Joyce, are developing. October is historically busy for hurricanes, and we will continue monitoring conditions closely.

We kick off the week and last day of September with warm and dry weather. The next few days stay dry with warm afternoons near 90 degrees.

By Thursday, tropical moisture moves in from the Gulf of Mexico leading to scattered rain and storms Thursday and Friday. As increasing moisture and disturbed weather enters the Gulf this week, further development is possible which is something that will need to be monitored all this week. So far, the big global models are backing down on developing anything significant which is a good thing. It is too soon to know what will play out so be sure to stay tuned. At this point, plan for more rain and storms on Thursday and Friday, with some lingering showers into early next weekend. It may be occasionally breezy too later this week with high temperatures in the low to mid 80s.
