Gulf of Mexico Low Threatens Rain For Southern Florida
A broad area of low pressure over the southwestern Bay of Campeche is becoming better organized and more defined, according to surface and upper-air observations, as of Monday afternoon. The National Hurricane Center is watching this area and has designated it Invest 93-L.
An Air Force Reconnaissance aircraft is scheduled to investigate the disturbance Tuesday afternoon.
This system is expected to slowly move east to east-northeast and be near the Yucatan Peninsula midweek. It may then interact and possibly merge with a frontal system towards the end of the week.
Later in the week, the path of the low pressure could bring it closer to Florida, enhancing rainfall through at least Friday and possibly into the weekend.
Part of this low has come from , which made landfall in southwestern Mexico on Saturday. It is possible that if it does develop it could retain the name Trudy or it could become Tropical Depression Nine and then possibly strengthen into Tropical Storm Hanna.
Conditions are generally favorable for development, as water temperatures are warm and wind shear is fairly low in the region.
