Tropics Update The Weather Authority Meteorologists are monitoring the Caribbean as tropical development is possible over the next 7 days. Models highlight a broad area of low pressure in the Caribbean that can slowly strengthen as it moves gradually to the northwest. Models remain quite inconsistent about how this area develops but are more consistent about this area’s moisture tracking into the Gulf of Mexico. WINK Weather Authority Meteorologists said, “Gulf of Mexico water temperatures are a lot cooler now than in August and September, but weak development can still be possible.” So far this season, we have seen 15 named storms, 10 of which developed into hurricanes and 4 of which developed into major hurricanes. Hurricane season ends on November 30.
