Tropical Weather Forecast - 10-18-2023

We are rolling closer to the end of hurricane season but the tropics remain active. In the Atlantic, Invest 94-L has become Tropical Storm Tammy in the central Atlantic. Tropical Storm Warnings are now out for Barbados, Martinique & Guadeloupe. These Caribbean Islands could get 3-6"+ of rain and tropical storm force winds by Friday and Saturday. After that, Tammy is expected to turn north which would keep it out of the Gulf of Mexico and away from SE Texas. In the Eastern Pacific, Norma has become a hurricane west of Mexico and could send some moisture towards SE TX early next week. Norma will be near the Baja Peninsula by this weekend. There's also a high chance for a Tropical wave to develop south of S. Mexico over the next week.
