91L – SW Gulf of Mexico – High Chance
Satellite and surface observations indicate that a broad area of low pressure is located over the Bay of Campeche with winds of 35-40 mph occurring in an area well to the northeast of the center over the southern Gulf of Mexico. Conditions appear conducive for gradual development, and a Tropical Depression or Tropical Storm is likely to form by midweek while the low moves slowly west-northwestward toward the western Gulf coast.
Locally heavy rainfall is also expected to spread over portions of Texas and Louisiana by the middle of the week. Interests along the western and northwestern Gulf coasts should monitor the progress of this system, as Tropical Storm Watches and Warnings may be required for portions of this area later this afternoon or tonight.
An Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft is currently en route to investigate the system.

Southwestern Gulf of Mexico:
Satellite and surface observations indicate that a broad area of low pressure is located over the Bay of Campeche with winds of 35-40 mph occurring in an area well to the northeast of the center over the southern Gulf of Mexico. Environmental conditions appear conducive for gradual development, and a tropical depression or tropical storm is likely to form by midweek while the low moves slowly west-northwestward toward the western Gulf coast.
Regardless of development, several more days of heavy rainfall are expected across portions of southern Mexico and Central America, and these rains are likely to cause life-threatening flooding and flash flooding.
Locally heavy rainfall is also expected to spread over portions of Texas and Louisiana by the middle of the week.
Interests along the western and northwestern Gulf coasts should monitor the progress of this system, as tropical storm watches and warnings may be required for portions of this area later this afternoon or tonight.
