SUMMARY: There's a high chance of a depression or tropical storm forming in the Gulf of Mexico within the next couple of days, focusing on a large moisture area around Central America. As this circulation moves north, it could become the first tropical storm of the season, likely heading toward South Texas by Wednesday or Thursday, causing heavy rainfall and potential flooding. Louisiana is also likely to experience increased tropical downpours. The storm is expected to bring significant impacts in the form of heavy rain and possible flooding, particularly in South Texas by midweek.

SUMMARY: As of June 17th at 6:16 AM, no tropical storms or depressions have occurred yet, but the Hurricane Center predicts a high chance of development soon in the Gulf, possibly forming into a tropical storm. This system, potentially impacting South Texas by Wednesday or Thursday, brings heavy rainfall and flood risks, particularly from Houston to Corpus Christi. Louisiana may also experience tropical downpours, with rainfall totals between 1-3 inches, and some areas exceeding 6 inches. Gusty winds and minor coastal flooding are expected. The weather pattern is guided by a high-pressure ridge steering systems towards Texas and Florida. Mariners face hazardous conditions this week.

High chance for development in SW Gulf, low chance in W Atlantic. There are two areas of possible tropical development in the Atlantic Basin.
