A low pressure system northeast of Hispaniola now has a 90% chance of development over the next 5 days. Forecast models strengthen this low into a named storm and bring it into the east coast of Florida. After landfall it could end up crossing Florida, stalling in the Gulf, then moving back into the west coast of Florida. No impact to Texas.
November 5 10 a.m.
Depression Lisa is still holding on in the southern Gulf, but it's no threat to Texas. More interesting is an area of potential development off the east coast of Florida. Some models try to form a system that works into the Eastern Gulf, then hooks back into Florida as a named storm. It's something we'll be monitoring, but again there's no concerns for Texas.
November 4 10 a.m.
The remnants of hurricane Lisa have found there way into the Bay of Campeche, where a now weakened Tropical Depression Lisa can be found drifting north. Lisa is no threat to Texas, nor are the two areas of potential development we are monitoring in the Atlantic.

Hurricane Lisa made landfall in Belize on Wednesday, heavy rains continue over parts of Mexico. Hurricane Martin is expected to remain a fish storm over the northern Atlantic.
The National Hurricane Center is also monitoring two other areas of disturbed in the central Atlantic. Both system have a low chance of development over the next five days.
November 2 8 a.m.
Tropical Storm Lisa becomes a Hurricane as it nears the coast of Belize. The center of Lisa is expected to make landfall in Belize later today, and then cross northern Guatemala and move into southeastern Mexico by Thursday.. It is no threat to the Gulf of Mexico.
Tropical Storm Martin has formed in the northern Atlantic. This system is expected to become a hurricane today before transitioning into a large and powerful extratropical low on Thursday.
The National Hurricane Center is also monitoring an area of disturbed weather in the Caribbean, which has a 20% chance of development over the next five days. Some slow subtropical or tropical development of this system is possible afterward while it moves generally northward to northwestward.
November 1 8 a.m.
Tropical Storm Lisa has formed over the Caribbean. It is expected to strengthen to a hurricane later this week as it makes landfall in Belize. It is no threat to the Gulf of Mexico.
The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a system in the central Atlantic, which now has a 90% chance of development over the next two days, and a 90% chance of development over the next 5 days. If this does become a named system it would be "Martin", but it is no threat to Texas.

We're still keeping our eyes on a system in the eastern Caribbean, which now has a 70% chance of development over the next two days, and an 80% chance of development over the next 5 days. If this does become a named system it would be "Lisa", but it is no threat to Texas.
October 29 8 a.m.
We have two areas of potential development in the Atlantic, but the one of greatest interest is a tropical wave in the Western Caribbean with a 70% chance of development over the next 5 days. The storm system, if it develops, would likely be a weaker storm that would move into Central America or the Yucatan Peninsula, no threat to the Gulf of Mexico.
October 28 8 a.m.
We are watching two areas of disturbed weather for potential tropical development during the next five days. These systems will have no threat to the Gulf.

October 25 8 a.m.
In the Atlantic, we are watching a few areas of disturbed weather that have a chance to develop. One area just southwest of Bermuda has the potential to become a tropical depression or storm later today. Regardless of development, the storm will help to enhance precipitation across New England on Wednesday as it merges with a cold front.
A tropical wave has a low chance for development as it meanders south and west of Bermuda over the coming days.
A new area to watch over the eastern Caribbean Sea for tropical development. Formation odds are low however, environmental conditions are forecast to be favorable for gradual development as the system drifts westward or west northwestward over the eastern Caribbean this weekend.
October 24 8 a.m.
In the Atlantic, we are watching two areas of disturbed weather for a low chance of tropical development. For now, no threat to land.
In the eastern Pacific, Roslyn is no longer a tropical cyclone after moving into Mexico over the weekend. Moisture associated with the remnants of the storm are currently moving through southeast Texas. This will help increase our rain chances as a cold front moves through late Monday into Tuesday.
October 22 10 a.m.
The Atlantic basin remains quiet with no named storms, but we're eyeing a storm in the eastern pacific that could help increase our rain chances early next week. As hurricane Roslyn moves into Mexico this weekend, jetstream winds will help carry some of the storm's moisture into southeast Texas. Having that added moisture in place will help increase our rain chances as a cold front moves through late Monday into Tuesday of next week.
October 21 8 a.m.
Tropical Storm Roslyn has formed south of Mexico. It is expected to become a hurricane and curve back toward Mexico. Jet stream winds will carry the moisture across Houston on Monday and Tuesday of next week to bring us a chance for rain.
October 20 10:00 a.m.

October 13 10:00 a.m.
Tropical Storm Karl is tracking south over the Bay of Campeche. It will continue to bring heavy rain and gusty winds to the eastern Mexico coast and may slightly strengthen over the next day or two.
It poses no immediate threat to the U.S. mainland at this time and should meander over the Bay. Karl is expected to turn southward or south-southwestward on Friday, and this motion should continue through early Saturday. On the forecast track, the center of Karl should reach the coasts of Tabasco or Veracruz states in Mexico late Friday night or early Saturday.
October 12 11:00 a.m.
Tropical Storm Karl will continue to bring heavy rain and gusty winds to the eastern Mexico coast and may slightly strengthen over the next day or two.

October 11 7:00 a.m.
Remnants from Julia have made it into the Bay of Campeche. Development odds have increased to 60 percent over the next 48 hours. Conditions are expected to become favorable for further development and a tropical depression could form within the next day or two. If this system acquires a name, it would be Karl.
October 10 7:00 a.m.
Tropical Storm Julia has crossed the Atlantic basin into the eastern Pacific while maintaining at least tropical storm intensity. Julia continues to move on a westward track in the eastern Pacific, just south of the coast of El
Salvador. Despite moving away from land, Julia can still bring gusty winds and heavy rain across a large portion of Central America. The widespread heavy rain can result in life-threatening flooding and mudslides.
We are monitoring an area of disturbed weather located to the north of Tropical Storm Julia. Slight development of this system is possible by mid-week if the disturbance remains over water. Regardless of development, heavy rain is expected over portions of southern Mexico, Belize, and Guatemala during the next couple of days.

October 7 4:00 p.m.
A hurricane warning has been issued for the coast of Nicaragua. Julia should gain hurricane status just before striking Nicaragua early Sunday morning. In addition to a 4-6 foot storm surge, Julia is expected to produce 6-12 inches of rain with isolated spots over 15 inches along its path.
October 7 10:00 a.m.
Tropical Storm Julia has formed and is likely to become a hurricane before reaching Central America this weekend.
There is a chance some of its tropical moisture could eventually get into the southwest Gulf of Mexico and head to Texas.
October 6 10:00 p.m.
Radar and satellite imagery from South America has prompted the National Hurricane Center to upgrade Thirteen to a Tropical Depression. It is still forecasted to become Tropical Storm Julia around sunrise Friday morning. It should be a hurricane when it strikes central America late this weekend.
October 6 11:00 a.m.
Potential Storm Thirteen has formed in the southern Caribbean. Over the next day or so, this system is expected to become Tropical Storm Julia. On the forecast track, this system forecast to move across

September 29 10:00 p.m.
Hurricane Hunters flew through Ian this evening and found 85 miles per hour winds. Ian should make it to the South Carolina coast Friday morning. Flooding from heavy rain and storm surge will be major issues. Strong winds will obviously cause tree damage and power outages.
