Tracking The Tropics:

We are watching a cluster of storms drifting into the eastern Caribbean Sea. It has a 20% chance for development as it enters the Bay of Campeche. This could bring heavy rainfall to Eastern Mexico by Monday July 1st.

As for the rest of the Atlantic Basin, we are seeing typical showers and Saharan dust from Africa. The dust helps to minimize tropical development. This dust will move into SE Texas Friday and Saturday bringing poor air quality. The particulate matter of Saharan dust also creates beautiful sunrises and sunsets.

Pulse of Saharan Dust move into the Atlantic Basin this week.
10-Day Forecast:

Our 10-day forecast is as typical a summer time outlook as you will see. High temperatures are in the mid-90s, it’s humid and we have a chance of getting an afternoon sea breeze thunderstorm every day.
