Early July Gulf Low
|
A weak surface low in the northern Gulf has a limited chance of becoming a Tropical Cyclone before it fully moves inland over Louisiana and Texas later this week. Rain, possibly heavy, and some wind are likely either way.

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
200 PM EDT Mon Jul 2 2018
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
1. A large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms extending
from the north-central Gulf of Mexico across the western Florida
panhandle is associated with a broad area of low pressure and
associated surface trough. Close proximity to land should prevent
significant development of this system before it moves westward and
inland over southeastern Louisiana on Tuesday. Regardless of
development, this system is forecast to produce locally heavy
rainfall along portions of the northern Gulf Coast during the next
couple of days. Additional information on this system can be found
in products issued by your local National Weather Service office.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...10 percent.
