Tropical Update

Disorganized showers and thunderstorms over the northwestern Caribbean Sea and southeastern Gulf of Mexico (green oval) are associated with a broad area of low pressure located about a hundred miles north of the coast of Honduras. While this system is producing winds to near gale force north of the center, development is not expected due to strong upper level winds. The low is forecast to move little over the next few days, and locally heavy rainfall is possible across portions of the eastern Yucatan Peninsula, Cuba, the Cayman Islands, and Jamaica through the weekend.

By late next week, an area of low pressure will move develop across portions of the Southern Plains, bringing moderate to heavy rain to portions of Oklahoma and Texas.
