The tropics are becoming active
By dtewes in Sky Watch

You won’t see this very often.

Victoria could experience record cold Tuesday morning even as forecasters are expecting a tropical system to develop in the Gulf of Mexico.

The record low for Victoria on May 19 is 54 degrees set in 2002. The forecast is for the temperature to dip to 52 degrees Tuesday morning.

Hurricane season doesn’t crank up until June 1, but computer models are spinning up low pressure in the east-central gulf by Thursday morning.

Right now it doesn’t appear to be a threat to Texas. But it could make landfall at the mouth of the Mississippi River this weekend.
