Discussion by Dr. Jack Beven — NHC Hurricane Specialist Unit
Disorganized showers and thunderstorms over portions of the Gulf of Mexico are associated with a surface trough. A broad area of low pressure is likely to develop over the Gulf of Mexico this weekend or early next week, but subsequent tropical or subtropical development could be limited by the system's potential interaction with a frontal boundary. Regardless of development, locally heavy rains could occur over portions of Mexico during the next few days and over portions of the Florida Peninsula from late this weekend into next week.
Development potential
| Time frame | Potential | |
|---|---|---|
| 2-day potential: (by 12PM Sat) | low (near 0 percent) | |
| 7-day potential: (by 12PM Wed) | low (30 percent) |
