Tropical Weather Outlook
Statement as of 11:30 am EDT on June 09, 2006
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico...
Widespread cloudiness and showers over the northwestern Caribbean
Sea and adjacent land areas are associated with an area of low
pressure centered a couple hundred miles east of the Yucatan
Peninsula. This system is showing signs of organization this
morning. Despite the close proximity to land...and upper-level
winds that are only somewhat conducive for additional
development...a tropical depression could still form during the
next or two as the system moves slowly northward. An Air Force
reconnaissance aircraft is scheduled to investigate this system
tomorrow afternoon...if necessary. Even if a tropical depression
does not form...heavy rainfall is possible during the next couple
of days over portions of Honduras...Belize...the Yucatan
Peninsula...the Cayman Islands...and western Cuba.
Elsewhere...tropical storm formation is not expected through
Saturday.
Forecaster Mainelli/Knabb
Obviously no reason to freak out... but I think I might gas up the Tercel this afternoon.
Update: Yeesh!
