Special Tropical Weather Outlook (Atlantic)

Issued by the NWS National Hurricane Center in Miami, FL

2:50 PM UTC, Fri Aug 19 2022

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

Special outlook issued to update discussion of the disturbance in

the southwestern Gulf of Mexico.

Southwestern Gulf of Mexico:

Satellite imagery indicates that showers and thunderstorms associated with the broad low pressure area over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico and the Bay of Campeche are getting better organized.

Environmental conditions appear favorable for additional development, and a tropical depression could form later today or on Saturday while the system moves northwestward across the

southwestern and western Gulf of Mexico.  However, by Saturday night, the system is expected to move inland over northeastern Mexico, which will end its chances of development. An Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft is scheduled to investigate the

system this afternoon.  Interests along the northeastern coast of Mexico and the lower Texas coast should monitor the progress of this system.  Regardless of development, this system could bring

locally heavy rains to portions of northeastern Mexico and southern Texas over the weekend.

* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...60 percent.

* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...60 percent.
