Our studies and research group is carefully monitoring a developing low pressure area off the Florida Keys at this hour. This Gulf low is drawing energy from the extremely warm Gulf surface waters and may become a named Tropical Storm fairly soon.
Gulf Coastal residents from Panama City, Florida to New Orleans, Louisiana should monitor the progress of the developing system closely.
We will place an update here in the blog as conditions warrant regarding this Gulf low pressure area.
We are also monitoring a tropical low 800 miles north northeast of the Leeward Islands. It has some potential to increase in intensity and to affect the southeastern US in a week to 10 days.
