Tropical Disturbance Forms Over Northern Gulf, Expected to Impact Texas

Tropical Disturbance Forms Over Northern Gulf, Expected to Impact Texas

Forecasters are closely monitoring a strong tropical wave that has developed over the northern Gulf of Mexico, south of the Florida Panhandle and Mississippi. Satellite imagery and wind data from Sunday indicate that the system has become more organized since Saturday, with deep convection forming near and just south of a broad circulation. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) reports that atmospheric conditions in the northern Gulf, characterized by low wind shear, are conducive to further development over the next couple of days. The probability of this system developing into a short-lived tropical depression or tropical storm before reaching the upper Texas or southwestern Louisiana coasts by Tuesday or Tuesday evening is currently at 50 percent. The low-pressure system is being steered westward by the flow along the southern periphery of a large heat dome covering much of the south-central and southeastern U.S. The heat dome's center recently shifted from Oklahoma to the middle Mississippi Valley.

Tropical Storm Dolly Approaches Caribbean, Heavy Rain Expected

Tropical Storm Dolly, which formed in the Atlantic Ocean on Thursday, is moving westward at a speed of 24 mph (39 km/h) with maximum sustained winds of 40 mph (65 kph), according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC). As of 5 a.m. AST on Friday, the storm was located approximately 1,145 miles (1,840 kilometers) east of the Leeward Islands. The NHC forecasts that the storm, or its remnants, will approach the Leeward Islands this weekend, bringing heavy rainfall to the region. Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Hispaniola may also experience significant rainfall late Saturday into Sunday. The storm is expected to weaken into a tropical wave before reaching the Leeward Islands.

Tropical Storm Dolly Approaches Leeward Islands and U.S. Coastline

Tropical Storm Dolly Approaches Leeward Islands and U.S. Coastline

Tropical Storm Dolly is currently tracking toward the Leeward Islands in the northeastern Caribbean and is expected to bring heavy rainfall to the region as early as this weekend. Meteorologists have noted that the Atlantic hurricane season has been unusually quiet this year, with only four named storms so far. Dolly is not expected to reach hurricane status due to strong wind shear and land interaction, but it may still bring significant rainfall to Puerto Rico on Sunday and Monday. The storm could potentially redevelop as it moves toward the southeastern U.S. coast, with impacts possible in Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, and even as far north as New England later next week. Forecasters attribute the subdued hurricane activity to a powerful El Niño, which has created conditions unfavorable for storm intensification.
