LCRA meteorologist Bob Rose notes a situation that the forecast models foresee in the Gulf that could serve to draw in any tropical storm forming in the western Carribbean and crossing the Yucatan peninsula by Monday:
"…low and mid-level winds in the atmosphere will be blowing from the southeastern Gulf towards the Texas/Mexican coast much of next week. Should any disturbance try to develop, it would be steered to the western Gulf. The latest readings show water temperatures in Gulf of Mexico are as warm, and in some places even warmer than they were in the very active season of 2005."
Fortunately, the forecasters say any landfall could be as far south of Texas as Tampico, Mexico.
