Watching The Heat, Watching The Tropics

July 8, 2019

We are watching the heat as the week begins, and we are watching the tropics for possible impacts by the end of the week.

A trough of low pressure was located on the southeastern United States. It’s forecast to move southward toward the northeastern Gulf of Mexico, where a broad area of low pressure will likely form in a few days. Some gradual development is then possible and a tropical depression could form by the end of the week while the low meanders near the northern Gulf Coast.

Residents should monitor the progress of this system. Regardless of development, this system has the potential to produce heavy rainfall along the Gulf Coast later this week.
