Hurricane Center Increases Odds Gulf System Could Develop
Forecast models show a small chance of a tropical depression or storm forming as a stalled front moves into the Gulf, forecasters said.
- On Sunday, the National Hurricane Center began monitoring a broad area of low pressure in the southwestern Gulf that could develop into a tropical depression or storm around midweek.
- A dip in the jet stream is forecast to push a cold front into the Gulf by midweek, where the system will likely drift northward over warm waters enabling slow development.
- Forecasters currently estimate a 40% chance of development over the next seven days, though environmental conditions remain only marginally favorable for the system.
- The National Weather Service office in New Orleans stated it is too early to determine specific local impacts, advising residents to continue monitoring the forecast for updates.
- October 4 marks the latest the Atlantic basin has gone without its first hurricane since satellite tracking began in the 1960s, surpassing the previous record set in 2002 and 2013.
