National Hurricane Center flags area of interest
FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber is watching a broad area of low pressure in the Bay of Campeche, which is in the southwestern portion of the Gulf. This is the first area that the National Hurricane Center has designated for the 2026 season. Weber says it will not impact Florida. However, it could go in several different directions. He said that it could work its way into Mexico and then dissipate, but it could also briefly move on shore and interact with a front to the north, which could bring it back out over the water and into the northern Gulf, bringing rain into Texas and the Gulf Coast. It has a 10% chance of developing over the next week.

El Nino officially began on Thursday
FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber says El Nino officially started on Thursday, which usually means a quieter hurricane season. However, he is watching an area in the Southwestern Gulf that has a 10% chance of developing from the remnants of former Tropical Storm Cristina. Weber says it is unlikely it will develop because conditions aren’t favorable and there isn’t much time. Weber adds that it will work its way into Mexico. Otherwise, wind shear keeps the tropics quiet.

Possible area of disturbance in Gulf
FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber is watching a possible disturbance in the Gulf that may stem from Tropical Storm Cristina that is in the Pacific. Weber says if it makes its way into the southwestern Gulf, it will likely continue to push into Mexico, adding that wind shear is leading to unfavorable conditions. He adds that there is no threat to Florida or the United States.

Dry air hinders area of convection in Caribbean
FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber is watching the tropics, which remains quiet one week into the 2026 hurricane season. He is monitoring an area of convection in the Central Caribbean, but notes that there is dry air working its way through and nothing is organized as of Monday morning. While the Atlantic and Caribbean are quiet, the Pacific is heating up with Tropical Storm Boris and Tropical Depress 3E, which will likely become Cristina working their way along the coastline before possibly bringing moisture into the Gulf and eventually even Texas.

Quiet tropics due to moving Saharan dust
FOX 13 Meteorologist Valerie Mills says Saharan dust is continuing to make its way to the Caribbean, keeping the tropics quiet. She says deep tropical moisture from the Caribbean will be pulled into the Gulf in the next week, giving a chance of increased rainfall.

Saharan dust keeps tropics quiet
FOX 13 Meteorologist Nash Rhodes is watching a quiet Atlantic. He says the main development region is still shrouded in Saharan dust, which is getting whisked away by the Tradewinds into the Caribbean and even the Gulf over the next few weeks. Rhodes says no tropical development is expected over the next seven days.

Today's tropical weather forecast
FOX 13 Meteorologist Dave Osterberg is keeping an eye on an area of disturbed weather in the Southeast Gulf, but he does not think this area will develop due to wind shear pushing it apart. He said the area will likely drift northwest and bring beneficial rain to Louisiana. Osterberg does not expect any tropical formation within the next seven days.

Hurricane season is off to a quiet start
FOX 13 Meteorologist Valerie Mills is watching the tropics, which are quiet as hurricane season gets underway. Mills says there is no tropical formation expected over the next seven days due to wind shear across the Atlantic Basin and Saharan dust over the Caribbean. She added that both NOAA and CSU are calling for a slightly below average hurricane season with El Nino starting to emerge.

Hurricane season begins Monday
FOX 13 Meteorologist Valerie Mills is keeping an eye on the tropics as hurricane season begins. She says Saharan dust moving across the Atlantic and possibly into the Gulf is keeping things quiet in the tropics. NOAA has predicted a quieter than normal hurricane season due to a strong El Nino forming, but Mills warns that it only takes one storm to make a season impactful, noting that Hurricane Andrew in 1992 formed during an El Nino season. Hurricane season runs through November 30.
