TROPICS THREE AREAS OF POSSIBLE DEVELOPMENT OUT THERE IN THE TROPICS RIGHT NOW ONE OF THEM PRETTY CLOSE TO HOME IN THE GULF OF MEXICO. SO THATS THE MEDIUM CHANCE OF TROPICAL DEVELOPMENT. ITS A 40% CHANCE OF DEVELOPMENT AND YOU CAN SEE HERE. ITS PRETTY DISORGANIZED. IT DOESNT HAVE THAT DEFINED CENTER OF CIRCULATION. IT WILL STRUGGLE TO HAVE THAT AS IT SLOWLY KIND OF MOVES TOWARDS TEXAS. WELL SEE IF IT GETS IT BACK TOGETHER. BUT AGAIN THE NATIONAL IN CENTER GIVING IT THAT MEDIUM CHANCE OF DEVELOPMENT WHETHER IT DEVELOPS OR NOT, IT WILL DUMP A LOT OF RAIN OVER PORTIONS OF TEXAS EXACTLY WHERE IT WILL GO THATS TO BE DETERMINED MODELS ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE, BUT THE GOOD NEWS FOR US AT LEAST HERE IN LOUISIANA AND MISSISSIPPI, NOT OUR CONCERN NOT HEADING OUR WAY. WE ALSO HAVE POTENTIAL TROPICAL CYCLONE 2. IT IS STILL A POTENTIAL TROPICAL CYCLE AND BECAUSE IT ALSO DOESNT HAVE A DEFINED CENTER OF CIRCULATION THOUGH. IT HAS WINS AT 40 MILES AN HOUR AND ITS WEST NORTHWEST AT 26 MILES AN HOUR. THIS IS A BRAND NEW UPDATE FROM THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER JUST CAME OUT A COUPLE MINUTES AGO. SO THEY DO EXPECT IT TO BECOME A TROPICAL STORM SOON. AND WHEN IT DOES IT WILL BE NAMED BONNIE BY WEDNESDAY EVENING. IT WILL BE PASSING OVER PLACES LIKE ARUBA AND THEN IT WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE WEST AND LIKELY STRENGTHEN INTO A CATEGORY 1 HURRICANE BY FRIDAY EVENING BEFORE MAKING LANDFALL THEN FROM THERE. WELL CONTINUE TO MOVE MOVE OUT TOWARDS THE PACIFIC. ITS BOWL THAT IT COULD HOLD ON TO ITS STRENGTH THOUGH AS IT MOVES INTO THE PACIFIC AND THEREFORE IT WOULD KEEP THAT NAME BONNIE IF IT BECOMES NAMED BONNIE IN THE ATLANTIC, WE ALSO HAVE THIS SYSTEM BACK HERE. SO ITS TECHNICALLY TWO WAVES THAT WILL LIKELY INTERACT AND THEN THAT COULD POTENTIALLY DEVELOP RIGHT NOW. ITS A LOW CHANCE BUT THIS EVENING THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER BUMPED IT UP FROM A 20% CHANCE TO A 30% CHANCE OF DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE NEXT 30 DAYS YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THE PATH HERE THAT IT WOULD TAKE. ITS SOMETHING THAT WELL BE WATCHING. THERES THIS TWO WAVES THAT KIND OF INTERACT AND POTENTIALLY TRY TO FORM AND HEAD TOWARDS PLACES LIKE CUBA. ITS SOMETHING WE WILL KEEP AN EYE ON BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE HEADING OUT DIRECTION, BUT ITS REALLY NOT A CONCERN RIGHT NOW THAT LOW CHANCE ALSO BY THE WAY, THAT WOULD BE JULY 3RD OVER THE WEEKEND. ITS HEADING TOWARDS THERE SO IT WOULDNT BE BRINGING US ANY RAIN OR ANYTHING FOR THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND. WE WILL HAVE POP-UP SHOWERS AND STORMS LIKE WE HAD TODAY AND RIGHT NOW OUT THERE ITS A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN HANGING ON SOME LIGHT SHOWER ACTIVITY NEAR PLACES LIKE IN CITY, WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE ACTIVITY ALONG THE COAST THERE NEAR GRAND ISLE AND PORT FUSCHANA A HEAVIER RAIN OR HEAVIER DOWNPOUR THERE AND THEN A BIT MORE MOVING ON TOWARDS THE COAST OF IT A LIGHTNING THERE TOO. WELL SEE IF THAT HOLDS TOGETHER AND EVENTUALLY MAKES ITS WAY TO WAVELAND. SO OVERALL TONIGHT THOUGH, MAYBE A FEW SHOWERS ARE IN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM OUT THERE PARTLY CLOUDY WARM AND HUMID LOWS MAINLY IN THE 70S THEN TOMORROW THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY BACK ONCE AGAIN, NO SURPRISE HOT AND HUMID PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY, I THINK. TEMPERATURES WILL GET UP INTO THE LOW 90S FOR A LOT OF US AND ONCE AGAIN SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL POP UP IN THE AFTERNOON HOURS. I THINK THE BEST CHANCE FOR RAIN IS ON THURSDAY. THATS A 70% CHANCE FOR RAIN AND THEN FRIDAY AND INTO THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND. ITS A VERY SUMMER-LIKE PATTERN HIGHS WILL BE IN THE LOW 90S. WE WILL HAVE A 30 TO 40 PERCENT CHANCE TO RAIN FRIDAY SATURDAY, SUNDAY AND MONDAY FOR THE 4TH OF JULY. SO OVERALL THE HIGHEST CHANCE OF RAIN,

Wednesday will be similar to Tuesday - hot and humid with a chance of scattered storms.Thursday seems to have the highest likelihood of rain and storms (70%). Highs will likely stay in the 80s due to the cloud cover and rain.Then, Friday and through the holiday weekend, a summerlike pattern will be in place. Highs will mainly be in lower 90s and there will be a 30-40% chance of scattered storms.In the Atlantic, we're watching three areas of possible development. Read more here.
