ON THE TRAIL OF THE TROPICS:

So far, the Atlantic disturbances are not moving toward Florida; however, the disturbances in the western Gulf are expected to have small indirect moisture impacts on Florida, especially the Gulf states.

WESTERN GULF

The low pressure area continues to bring rain and thunderstorms. Due to the composition and characteristics of the low pressure area, it is likely to develop into a tropical depression or storm early this week. Several models currently show it moving north-northwest towards Texas and LouisianaHurricane hunters will assess the storm today. The probability of occurrence in the next 24 hours to seven days is 90 percent.

As of Sunday evening, the system has been moving northwest in the western Gulf at about 4.5 mph (7 kph).
