Thursday morning tropical update: 2 areas to watch in the Gulf of Mexico; 5 in the Atlantic

The National Hurricane Center says two areas of disorganized showers have a low chance of development in the next five days as they move over the Gulf of Mexico.

Forecasters say a weak tropical wave, currently producing thunderstorms over the eastern Gulf, could see slow development as it moves westward and then southwestern. This would put the disturbance south of the Louisiana coast, but could still bring heavy rain to the area this weekend.

A second large area of disorganized storms northeast of the Central Bahamas is expected to move westward, crossing the Bahamas and Florida on Friday before moving into the Gulf of Mexico over the weekend. The NHC says conditions could be conducive for some development as it moves west-northwest over the eastern Gulf of Mexico next week.

The forecast models do NOT show any development at the surface, but they have a mid-level area of low pressure. This will likely spread heavy rain across the northern Gulf Coast this weekend and into next week. It is worth watching but only has a low chance to develop at this time.

my grandpa smith used to hammer nails just like that, he was strong. he got in a car accident when he was 19 that knocked out most of his teeth. because he was driving to fast down the road. he wasnt targetted to be assasinated like i was at ten years old for something i was never a part of but just wrongly targetted in a misidentification when they were looking for someone who previously owned the car the son of another man who was stealing from mexicans. a carson.
