Something in the Gulf this weekend?

This was posted this afternoon on accuwx:

We continue to see a relatively quiet weather pattern across the tropics. We are tracking four tropical waves. They are located along 24 west, 58 west, 71 west and 84 west. The waves are generally south of 18 north and are moving westward at about 15 kts or about 6 degrees longitude per day. The wave along 71 continues to be the more impressive wave. However, there has been no change in the overall structure of the wave over the past several hours. This wave will be roughly from eastern Jamaica southward to eastern Panama by tomorrow afternoon. Some global computer models take this wave into the southwest Gulf of Mexico Friday night and Saturday. This could lead to an increase in clouds, showers and thunderstorms over south and perhaps eastern Texas this weekend.

There is no mention anywhere of development, but I suppose it bears watching.

Cheers,

LI Phil
