SUMMARY: The Gulf of Mexico is being monitored for potential development this weekend and early next week, though the National Hurricane Center and models indicate uncertainty in formation. A weak low pressure may develop in the Bay of Campeche, while a disturbance north in the Northwest Caribbean could contribute to broad low pressure in the Gulf. Tropical moisture will increase with higher rain totals likely in Florida. Meanwhile, Hurricane Kirk is intensifying but will curve out to sea, avoiding land, and another system named Leslie could approach the Caribbean but is not expected to enter the Gulf. The upcoming week is expected to be mostly dry.

We continue the long watch of the Gulf of Mexico. Luckily the National Hurricane Center hasn’t changed the chance for development. Over the next 5-7 days there is still a 40% chance a tropical depression forms.

A broad low pressure will take shape over the Gulf this weekend. Wind shear will likely keep the low-pressure messy and stretched out. This means it will likely be a rainmaker across the Gulf waters this weekend. The northern Gulf coast is close enough we could see a few showers Saturday, but it doesn’t look like a weekend washout.

By early next week, the slow-moving low pressure will still be trying to organize as it sits over the warm Gulf waters. That’s when a cold front enters the picture. The steering currents would likely begin to pull the moisture toward Florida next week
