...MONITORING THE ATLANTIC AND NOW THE WESTERN GULF FOR DEVELOPMENT...

 

Good Afternoon!  No change with Invest 94L GFS/EURO still on a westward trajectory and the ICON/CMC on a west-northwest track.  With such a dominating Azores High I think the GFS/EURO trajectory is the most likely at this time.

So now eyes turn toward the western Gulf of Mexico into next week as a stationary front is forecast to get pushed back over the Gulf and low pressure could form from that system.  This could be due to the Azores high pressure building west over Florida and pushing the weak front back.  If this were to occur it will be the reason for Invest 94L to track more westward at lower latitudes.  The Gulf low could then become a depression or tropical storm as it tracks over Texas or Louisiana.
