Tropical update: Invest 97L develops in Atlantic
Things are getting more interesting in the tropics! In the Atlantic basin, Invest 97-L is a well-defined tropical wave near Hispaniola that the National hurricane center is giving a high 70% chance for development over the next week. It is now forecast to move over Cuba and then will likely push into the eastern Gulf of Mexico by this weekend. Both the GFS & exclusive Fox model are bringing this system into the Big Bend of Florida by Sunday and Monday. So we could have another hurricane in the Gulf by this weekend. Right now Houston is not in the danger zone. But keep checking back as we get more forecast updates. As always, make sure you are always prepared for a hurricane by having your emergency gear kit and knowing your evacuation routes!
Tropical update: What to expect this August
A disturbance in the Atlantic could develop into a tropical system. Will we see Debby next week? FOX 26's Remeisha Shade gives a look at the tropical forecast for August.
Tropical update: Slow developing system in Atlantic
A broad area of low pressure in the Atlantic still has the eye of the National Hurricane Center. This will be a very slowly developing system but will be inching closer to Florida and The Bahamas.
Tropical Update: Tropical Depression to form this week?
The National Hurricane Center continues to watch a poorly defined tropical disturbance in the central Atlantic. There is a chance it becomes a tropical depression later in the week but lots of different ideas of where it would go.
Tropical Update: Possible tropical depression
Disturbed weather over the central tropical Atlantic is expected to join with a tropical wave and could form into a tropical depression this week. Environmental conditions will encourage development over the northern Leeward Islands, Greater Antilles, or southwestern Atlantic Ocean.
Tropical update: Disturbed weather in Atlantic
An area of disturbed weather over the central tropical Atlantic Ocean is being monitored by the National Hurricane Center. Chances are still low for tropical development but it is the first sign of the Atlantic Basin starting to become more active for August.
Tropical Weather Update - Watching new development in Atlantic
A disturbance over the central Atlantic is forecast to move near the Lesser Antilles by the early to middle part of next week. There's a LOW 20% chance for development into a tropical system next week. Saharan dust is starting to get a bit less thick and that could mean more tropical systems getting going in August. Tropical Storm Bud has fallen apart in the eastern Pacific and is now a post-tropical remnant low. Area of low pressure a few hundred miles south of southern Mexico has a 30% chance to develop into a tropical system next week as it moves WNW.
Tropical disturbance in the Atlantic being monitored: National Hurricane Center
An area of disturbed weather is being monitored in the Atlantic with a low chance of development over the next week.
Tropical update: Tropical Storm Bud in the Pacific
Tropical Storm "Bud" is a 60 mph system in the eastern Pacific moving west at 14 mph. It is not expected to be a threat to land and should fall apart this weekend. All is still quiet across the Atlantic, Caribbean & Gulf for now with no tropical activity expected for the rest of July. But things could get busy again in August as Saharan dust starts to decrease.
Tropical Weather Forecast - Monitoring Tropical Storm Bud in Pacific
The good news is that tropical systems are not expected to develop in the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean or Atlantic Ocean through the rest of July. Saharan dust has brought in drier air but is forecast to become less widespread in August. That means hurricane season could get really active as water temperatures remain very warm. In the Eastern Pacific, area of low pressure SW of Mexico now has a medium 50% chance tropical development. Check FOX Local for the latest on the tropics and weather where you live!
Tropical Update: Systems being watched in Pacific
Saharan dust is keeping tropical activity under control for now with no tropical systems expected expected over the next 7 days for the Atlantic, Caribbean & Gulf of Mexico. Two systems are being monitored in the eastern Pacific. One area of low pressure is a few hundred miles SSW of Manzanillo, Mexico with a 30% chance of development. The other disturbance is farther out in the eastern Pacific and has a very LOW 10-20% chance for development over the next 2-7 days.
Tropical Weather Forecast - Watching Pacific activity
Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico & Caribbean remain quiet for now and should stay quiet through the end of July with thick Saharan dust hindering tropical development across the Atlantic basin. A few systems in the East Pacific have a low shot for development over the next 2-7 days. But these systems, if they development wolf have no impact to the US and are moving away from Central America and Mexico.
Tropical update: Limited tropical activity
Look for limited tropical activity for the rest of the month in the Atlantic Basin. Saharan dust continues to be widespread and thick across the Atlantic Ocean and into the Caribbean. The National Hurricane Center is not expecting tropical development over the next 7 days.
Tropical update: Wet week ahead
Get ready for a wet week in Houston. Rounds of heavy rain and storms begin on Monday and continue through most of the week. Widespread rain could add up to 3-5 inches in total across Southeast Texas. Be safe moving around as localized flooded is expected at times.
Tropical update: No expected developments in Gulf
Saharan dust continues to be widespread and thick across the Atlantic basin. This will limit tropical activity for the rest of the month. The National Hurricane Center is not expecting tropical development over the next seven days.
Tropical update: When could systems develop
No tropical systems are expected to develop over the next 7 days in the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, or Gulf of Mexico. Saharan dust remains thick and widespread and will limit tropical activity for the rest of July. But dust is expected to decrease in August which will likely mean more tropical systems developing. There's a very low 10% chance for a tropical system to develop in the eastern Pacific south of southern Mexico over the next week.
Tropical update: Little activity with Saharan dust
Saharan dust is thick right now across the Atlantic basin and that means very limited tropical activity for the next week. In fact, no tropical systems are expected to form in the next 7 days. Two disorganized tropical waves in the Eastern Pacific only have a low chance for tropical development. The area of low pressure in the western E. Pacific only has a 10% chance. The other disturbance south of S. Mexico has a low 20% chance for tropical development as it moves W/NW.
Tropical update: No tropical cyclones expected
Saharan dust remains thick across the Atlantic basin and no tropical cyclones are expected over the next week. Two systems in the Eastern Pacific have a low chance of developing into a tropical depression or storm over the next 2 to 7 days. But they will be moving away from the United States. Don't let your guard down as we are still expecting a very busy hurricane season as we get into August and September.
Tropical Forecast: Tracking system in the Pacific
With the abundance of Saharan dust across the Atlantic basin, tropical systems are not expected to develop for at least the next week. There's a medium chance a tropical depression or storm could form in the western east Pacific over the next 2-7 days. But this system is moving away from the US, Mexico & Central America.
Tropical Weather Forecast: Cyclone formation halted
Saharan dust is about to cover the Atlantic Basin this week. Tropical cyclone formation will be difficult. The National Hurricane Center is tracking several tropical waves.
