Discussion
The Atlantic Basin tropical scene has become quite active with an impressive system over the Gulf of Mexico and also a tropical storm (Gonzalo) over the central tropical Atlantic. The Gulf system has a chance to intensify into a named tropical storm over the next day or so as it heads towards the northwestern part of the Gulf. Heavy rain is likely by the weekend from this Gulf system across much of Texas and Louisiana and it could make landfall somewhere along the east coast of Texas. Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Gonzalo could very well climb to hurricane status as it pushes towards the Caribbean Sea reaching that body of water this weekend.
