CURRENT TROPICAL CYCLONES:

There are no active Tropical Cyclones…at the time of this writing

Southwestern Atlantic

Invest 92L

>>>  A small but concentrated area of showers and thunderstorms persists with an area of low pressure located around 225 miles east of Jacksonville, Florida. However, it is unclear if the system possesses a well-defined surface circulation. Environmental conditions remain marginally conducive for some additional development, and this system could become a short-lived tropical depression as the low moves west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph. The system is expected to approach the northeastern coast of Florida or the Georgia coast later today, and interests there should monitor the progress of this system. An Air Force Reserve aircraft is
scheduled to investigate the system later this morning, if necessary.

Southwestern Gulf of Mexico:

>>>  A broad area of low pressure is forecast to form over southeastern Mexico and northern Central America later today. Environmental conditions appear conducive for gradual development after this system moves over the Bay of Campeche on Saturday, and a tropical depression could form over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico this weekend while it moves slowly west-northwestward or northwestward.
