FOR THE NORTH ATLANTIC - CARIBBEAN SEA and the GULF OF MEXICO

SURFACE OBSERVATIONS INDICATE THAT A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE CENTERED ABOUT 100 MILES SOUTH OF CABO SAN ANTONIO AT THE WESTERNEND OF CUBA IS MOVING NORTHWARD. THIS SYSTEM HAS CHANGED LITTLE IN ORGANIZATION DURING THE NIGHT. HOWEVER... CONDITIONS APPEAR TO BE FAVORABLE FOR THIS SYSTEM TO BECOME A TROPICAL DEPRESSION OR A TROPICAL STORM DURING THE NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS. THIS SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE SOUTHEASTERN GULF OF MEXICO LATER TODAY BRINGING SQUALLS AND ADDITIONAL RAINS TO THE CAYMAN ISLANDS AND PORTIONS OF CUBA. AN AIR FORCE RECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFT IS SCHEDULED TO INVESTIGATE THE SYSTEM THIS AFTERNOON... IF NECESSARY.

ALL INTERESTS IN THE NORTHWESTERN CARIBBEAN SEA AND THE EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO SHOULD CLOSELY MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF THIS SYSTEM. BECAUSE DEVELOPMENT COULD OCCUR NEAR CUBA AT ANY TIME TODAY... A TROPICAL STORM WATCH OR WARNING MAY BE REQUIRED FOR PORTIONS OF WESTERN CUBA. ELSEWHERE... TROPICAL STORM FORMATION IS NOT EXPECTED THROUGH SUNDAY.

Note: The first storm this Atlantic Hurricane Season will be named Alberto...
I’ll keep my eye on this system and see if we end up with a Tropical Depression or not. Will make new post if a storm starts brewing...

I’ll update this post as needed.
Above Satellite Imagery will Auto Update itself
