Tropical rain on the way

The Weather Authority is watching an area of low pressure in the southern Gulf of Mexico.

An area of low pressure located over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico is producing limited and disorganized shower and thunderstorm activity. This system is forecast to merge with a developing frontal boundary over the western Gulf of Mexico early tomorrow and tropical formation is not expected. Regardless of tropical cyclone development, the system is forecast to produce gale-force winds over portions of the northern Gulf of Mexico by tomorrow and potentially heavy rainfall along the Gulf Coast.

Formation chances are now 0 percent.
