Our very, very nice weather pattern will continue for the rest of the week into the weekend. Temperatures will run 5-10 degrees below normal through Wednesday with warmer temperatures back to near or above normal by the weekend. Rain chances will continue be near zero through at least mid-next week. There are some hints that some tropical moisture could push into the region by the end of next week.Â
That leads us to the fact that today is the first day of hurricane season in the Eastern Tropical Pacific. While at press time there is an area of disturbed weather south of Acapulco, of greater interest to us is a non-tropical disturbance in the west-central Gulf of Mexico. If it was about three weeks from now and winds aloft were lighter, we’d be looking for tropical development. This system could become a tropical hybrid as it surges toward Florida over the next few days. Hopefully areas of the Sunshine State that have been parched will get some much needed rainfall…hopefully not too much!Â
