Low pressure in the Gulf could continue to develop

WEAR TV — A low pressure area over the western Gulf of Mexico could continue to develop next week.

This system is expected to develop into an extensive low pressure area.” This system over the southwest or south-central Gulf of Mexico during the next day or two, and further subsequent development is possible as the low slowly moves east or northeast. A tropical or subtropical depression or storm could form in the early to mid-part next week, if the low remains separated from a frontal boundary that is expected to extend across the Gulf of Mexico next week Mexico’s locally heavy rainfall will hit the Florida Peninsula this weekend and into next week.
