The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a trough of low pressure located over the panhandle of Florida. It is in the process of moving westward into the northeastern Gulf of Mexico and stay right along the coast as it moves west.

All eyes are on the tropics, as a cluster of thunderstorms moves across the northern Gulf with the potential for flooding rainfall. If the system gets into the warm Gulf, there is some potential for further development,

Forecasters are warning of early signs of a potential tropical cyclone developing along the northeastern Gulf of Mexico. A low-pressure system that could bring storms to Florida before moving west has a medium chance of developing into a tropical cyclone over the next several days, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC).

Low pressure is expected to emerge over the Gulf of Mexico this week and it may move into a favorable environment for tropical cyclone development.

The tropical development in the northern Gulf of Mexico this week is expected to be limited due to its close proximity to land, but it will still pose a danger for the millions who reside across the region.
