While we watch the tropical disturbance in the Gulf, it’s turned out to be a rather mild-ish Tuesday across the region. Clouds are hanging tough near the coast this afternoon but we’re seeing sunshine further north near Monroeville, Beatrice, & Greenville. Few showers offshore. https://t.co/zC7oLH8CXZ

Convection (rain & thunderstorms) associated with the tropical disturbance in the southwestern Gulf continues to increase in coverage.
The Hurricane Hunters/recon will assess the system a bit later today.
90% chance the system becomes a named tropical storm in the next 2 days. https://t.co/czRVkRLinj

Those higher rain chances you see at the end of the week and into the weekend are the result of what will likely be local impacts from the tropical system developing in the Gulf. We may have to adjust rain chances even higher for the weekend eventually. https://t.co/1aND4gUkjk
