From the NHC’s Atlantic Tropical Weather Outlook:
TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
1130 AM EDT TUE JUL 25 2006FOR THE NORTH ATLANTIC…CARIBBEAN SEA AND THE GULF OF MEXICO…
A SURFACE LOW PRESSURE AREA CENTERED OVER NORTHEASTERN MEXICO ABOUT 45 MILES SOUTHWEST OF BROWNSVILLE TEXAS IS MOVING NORTHWARD ABOUT 10 MPH. THIS SYSTEM IS GENERATING A LARGE AREA OF SHOWERS… THUNDERSTORMS AND STRONG GUSTY WINDS IN SQUALLS OVER PORTIONS OF THE WESTERN GULF OF MEXICO AND THE ADJACENT COASTAL AREAS. THE SYSTEM CENTER IS OVER LAND AND IS NOT CURRENTLY FORECAST TO EMERGE OVER THE WESTERN GULF OF MEXICO. THEREFORE…TROPICAL CYCLONE DEVELOPMENT IS UNLIKELY AT THIS TIME. HOWEVER…IF THE CENTER DOES EMERGE OVER THE GULF…A TROPICAL DEPRESSION COULD FORM. REGARDLESS OF WHETHER A TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMS…THIS SYSTEM IS LIKELY TO BRING LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL TO PORTIONS OF EXTREME NORTHEASTERN MEXICO… SOUTHERN TEXAS…AND SOUTHERN LOUISIANA DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.
A WESTWARD-MOVING TROPICAL WAVE IS LOCATED ABOUT 650 MILES EAST OF THE WINDWARD ISLANDS. THE ASSOCIATED SHOWER ACTIVITY REMAINS MINIMAL…AND SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM IS NOT EXPECTED.
