Storm in the Gulf? Most models say Not Here.

NHC has scheduled a plane to fly down to the Bay of Campeche on Wednesday if it appears a depression is starting to organize along the tail end of a cold front that has brought delightful air to all of the Gulf South. Computer models are doing all kinds of loops with this system much like they did with TS Lee. Thought Dr. Masters comment regarding where/if a low forms will dictate what direction it will go. "If it forms farther to the north near the tip of the Yucatan, the system may drift northward. If it forms farther to the south, it would go west or south". So until something forms, Let's not get too excited or worried about it. The Atlantic Basin remains active with Hurricane Katia expected to make the turn between Bermuda and the Carolinas with minimum impacts. Behind it will be TD 14 which should become Maria later on Wednesday. It too is expected to make the turn, however, her turn will come later and she could impact the Islands and Puerto Rico.

In the short term, days will be warm and dry with nights comfy cool approaching record lows for the next 3-4 days. Enjoy.

Well, tropical storm Lee chased me all the way home from the Yucutan last weekend!!! Hope this weekend holds something better in store! I'll have to think things through before I book another August cruise!
