Almanac
Hurricane Forecast
The tropics remain active, with one area of low pressure continue to move up the Texas coastline. That disturbance will bring heavy rainfall to the coastal areas there today.
Another area of low pressure is being slow about developing but will move into Central America this weekend (red X).
Yet another area of low pressure (yellow-shaded region) will move into the Caribbean today. That system will encounter some hostile problems but still remains worth monitoring.
