...and we're off to an early beginning to the official hurricane season.
First tropical interest in the Gulf for the 2021 season has 60% chance for developmentOnce again, the tropics are getting a jump start on the hurricane season, with two areas of potential development in the Atlantic basin.
An area of disorganized thunderstorms in the Western Gulf of Mexico, Invest 91-L, is the only potential impact to Southeast Texas. It has a 60 percent chance for development. Another more impressive disturbance, Invest 90-L, is located in the open Atlantic will stay out to sea and not impact the United States. It has an 90 percent chance for development.
The Gulf disturbance is disorganized and will drift toward the Texas coast through late Friday. It does not have much time to organize and is in an area that is only marginally conducive for development.
The biggest impact from 90-L will be rain. It will generate bands of rain that rotate into southeast Texas Friday afternoon, Friday night and even into Saturday as it makes quick progress onshore. It should be near shore as a tropical depression or weak tropical storm by landfall during the overnight hours Friday night. One to two inch rainfall from the storm will be common in southeast Texas. Some locations could get more. Isolated flooding will be possible, considering that the ground is already saturated from previous heavy rain..........
