In the tropical Atlantic, Tropical Storm Gonzalo is likely to become a hurricane on Thursday. At 5 am, Gonzalo was located near 10.0 North, 47.0 West, about 970 miles east of the southern Windward Islands. Gonzalo was moving west at 12 miles per hour and had maximum sustained winds of 65 miles per hour. A hurricane watch is in effect for Barbados, and additional watches are expected later on Thursday. After moving through the Windward Islands this weekend, Gonzalo is forecast to weaken to tropical storm strength in the eastern Caribbean. Computer models are not in agreement beyond that point, and we’ll watch this one closely.
In the Gulf of Mexico, the wave that has brought us stormy weather is now Tropical Depression # 8. At 5 am Thursday, TD # 8 was located near 26.0 North, 90.0 West, about 425 miles east-southeast of Port O’Connor, Texas. Maximum sustained winds were 30 miles per hour, and TD # 8 moving west-northwest at 9 miles per hour. A tropical storm watch is in effect for much of the Texas coast. The depression is forecast to reach tropical storm status before reaching the coast on Saturday, but the main threat will be very heavy rainfall over southern Texas and portions of northern Mexico.
