A
tropical wave will pass over us today. Skies will be mostly cloudy
with intermittent rain and thunderstorms. A weakening, stationary
cold front in the Gulf of Mexico is expected to dissipate by tonight.
As a result of this, the frontal boundary is now to the north of us.
High pressure in the Gulf of Mexico, will keep this system in place
for the next day or so. Expect skies to begin clearing, later today
and tomorrow.

The
Tropical Weather Outlook
Maria
is a post tropical cyclone
NE of Newfoundland.
A
broad low pressure system located about 400 miles southeast of the
Southern Cape Verde Islands is producing disorganized showers and
thunderstorms. Some slow development of this low is possible during
the next couple of days as it moves westward at 10 to 15 mph. This
system has a medium chance...30 percent...of becoming a tropical
cyclone during the next 48 hours.
Else
where, tropical storm formation is not expected for the next 48
hours.
