Tropical Cyclone Brewing in the Atlantic Basin?

The National Hurricane Center is giving a 50% chance of a broad area of low pressure over the Bay of Campeche to develop into a tropical cyclone within the next day or so.  The upper level winds appear to become a little more conducive for development as high pressure remains across the Gulf of Mexico.

Currently the low is moving to the west/northwest around 5 to 10 mph and an Air Force Reserve Unit hurricane hunter plane is scheduled to investigate this area later this afternoon, should it remain necessary.  Heavy rainfall and gusty winds will continue over eastern Mexico for the next couple of days.
