Low pressure system forms over Yucatan Peninsula; storm to move north into

An upper level low will spin up a weak area of low pressure to our south which will pull a deep surge of tropical moisture over the area through the day tomorrow.

Forecasters said the disturbance has a zero percent chance of tropical formation through the next 48 hours.

The Gulf looks relatively hostile during this time and any organization could be hard.

Destri says rain could arrive as early as Sunday night and stick around through Tuesday.

Flooding does not look to be an issue though as the rain will come periodically through the next few days and not all at once.

Temperatures will top out in the upper 80s to near 90 through Sunday while night-time lows level off near the 70 degree mark.

The Gulf system, if it develops, is expected to be an “extra-tropical” or “hybrid” low pressure system, meaning it will likely not have tropical potential, and therefore should stay rather weak.

The National Hurricane Center continues to keep tabs on an area of low pressure that has formed over the southeastern portion of the Yucatan Peninsula.

The only other impact besides the rain will be an increased rip current risk along our beaches.
