The tropical wave that moved over south Florida yesterday entered the NE Gulf today with a well defined circulation. However, the upper high that has brought extreme heat & drought to the corn belt is settling a little farther to the south this week. That will block any tropical moisture from reaching us for the next 2-3 days. We'll have to wait until the high retreats later in the week to see rainfall return bringing us a break from the heat. Expect highs 94-98 Tuesday into Friday with only an isolated storm or two.
The tropics still show no signs of life. Drs. Gray & Klotzbloch come out with their updated hurricane forecast on August 3rd. Stay tuned!

Hi Bob, will it be safe to go on a cruise in the Gulf the first week of August?
I don't worry about being on a MOVING ship. If a storm is coming, the ship will go where the storm won't. If you were going to Jamaica, Caymans, Virgin Islands etc., I'd be worried during August. Enjoy your cruise!
