Watching the tropics
A broad area of low pressure has formed in the Bay of Campeche. The National Hurricane Center has expanded the area in the Gulf on where we could see tropical development, although the overall chances of development are low.
The area of disorganized showers and storms will likely move over inland Mexico this weekend, but the tropical moisture could re-enter the Gulf next week.
