A tropical wave that stretches from Cuba through the Cayman Islands into Honduras is causing quite a bit of showers and thunderstorms this afternoon. A large cluster of storms of developed across eastern Honduras and these storms will likely track westward tonight.
The enter wave will track west-northwest tonight and through Saturday and showers and thunderstorms will be likely from Belize to the Yucatan of Mexico.

As the wave moves off of the northern Yucatan coast and into the Gulf of Mexico later this weekend it will move into a better environment for further development, potentially into a tropical cyclone. I encourage those of you living along the U.S. Gulf Coast to monitor this system this weekend. If the system would develop into a cyclone next week, it would likely track initially north then northeastward as a result of a trough that will be digging into the Eastern U.S.
I will keep close eye on this event and keep you updated.
