Tropics Heating Up

No, really. Water temperatures are well into the 80's along the Gulf coast, easily able to support tropical disturbances.

Here is a link for current water temperatures...

Just copy and paste in your browser. I was too lazy to set up the link today.

Looking at information from the National Hurricane Center, there is some confidence in the development of an area of disturbed weather in the Yucatan, possibly entering the Gulf of Mexico over the next several days.

Regardless of its tropical characteristics, heavy rainfall will pummel the Yucatan region before making a move toward the Gulf.

Right now, there is medium confidence (or about 60%) of continued tropical formation over the next 5 days.

I'll monitor this information over the next few days.
