UPDATED...TROPIC WAVE WATCH



UPPER LEVEL SHEAR IS UNFAVORABLE IN THE GULF OF MEXICO AT THIS TIME DUE TO TROPICAL DEPRESSION TWO-E IN THE EAST PACIFIC.  THIS SYSTEM IS A FLASH FLOOD PROBLEM FOR SOUTHERN MEXICO AND WILL KEEP ANY DEVELOPMENT IN THE GULF OF MEXICO SLOW TO OCCUR IF OUT ALL.  I WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR MODELS AND THE GULF OF MEXICO INTO NEXT WEEK...RTW http://ralphstropicalweather.myfreesites.net

WILL THIS SYSTEM DEVELOP OR NOT?


Not out of the question to see development in the Gulf at the beginning of the Hurricane season.  I have been monitoring some of the models in this area since some show low pressure developing and tracking northeast from the southern Gulf.  However models are flaky lately show false development in certain areas.  I will watch closely thou since we will be in hurricane season during this forecast period...RTW
