Tropical system could form in Gulf of Mexico

Low pressure in the southeast Gulf of Mexico continues to draw the attention of forecasters.

The National Hurricane Center has bumped up the chance of development to 60 percent within the next 48 hours.

The system has changed little in the past few hours, but it’s forecast to move into an area more favorable for development.

Computer models generally take the system into the northern Gulf Coast and away from the Crossroads later this week.

    Not everyone may be as up on the weather forecast as you, so I try to help spread the word. Also, computer models have been wrong before.

    When it's important enough for the National Weather Service to send out briefing to the local media and emergency managers, I feel it's important enough to keep the public informed.

    This system has little to no chance of coming towards TX so why post this story?
