Wednesday Tropical Update with Eric Jeansonne (07/31/2024)
SUMMARY: Chief Meteorologist Eric Jaam provided an update on a tropical wave impacting the southeastern Gulf region. Although the wave has not developed a well-defined system yet, it shows signs of organization, particularly around Puerto Rico. Forecast models indicate it could track toward Cuba and South Florida by the weekend. The wave’s development depends on various factors, including high pressure steering it west and an approaching jet stream trough that may curve it northward. Meanwhile, South Mississippi is under a heat advisory with index values reaching up to 110°F. Conditions remain hot and humid, with the potential for storms as the week progresses.
