In the tropics, we continue to watch a slowly-developing area of low pressure that’s now in the southern Gulf of Mexico. While the National Hurricane Center gives this feature a low chance of becoming a depression, it will bring heavy rain to portions of Mexico and to South Florida — and flooding will be a possibility this weekend and into next week. Computer models suggest that this feature could interact with a front, which in turn would impede tropical development. We’ll have to wait and see — and prepare for lots of rain.
Elsewhere, Kirk is a major hurricane that is forecast to turn northward this weekend. While Kirk will remain in the open Atlantic, its swells will reach the U.S. east coast on Sunday or Monday, making for hazardous surf conditions and dangerous rip currents. Leslie is gaining strength in the central Atlantic and is expected to become a hurricane on Friday as it moves through the open ocean.
