In addition to Tropical Storm Katia (which is now just 4mph shy of hurricane status), we continue to watch for development in the southeastern Gulf of Mexico. As Morning Meteorologist Candice King noted in an earlier post, an unorganized area of showers and storms to the northwest of Cuba bears watching. Although this area remains unorganized as of this writing due to strong wind shear, this could change tomorrow afternoon. This area of storms will encounter weaker wind shear at that time, which could allow it to develop into a tropical system. In fact, this area (shown in red with the above map) now has a HIGH probability of development according to the National Hurricane Center. We'll continue to watch what could become the next tropical storm in the Atlantic basin.
