Possible Tropical System Brewing in Southwestern Gulf; Little If Any Impact to San Antonio
Breaking News for Residents and Visitors of San Antonio
San Antonio – After experiencing weeks of tranquil, calm weather measures, the Gulf of Mexico could potentially see some stirring as the climatic peak of hurricane season approaches. An area of unsettled weather is currently present in the Bay of Campeche, and investigations by the National Hurricane Center (NHC) indicate an approximately 80% chance of tropical development in this region over the coming days.

While the weather disturbance is under inspection, it bears the temporary moniker of ‘Invest 91-L’. As conditions evolve, this system may intensify into a more organized formation by the onset of the week and venture north along the Texas coast.
The majority of computer-aided prediction models suggest that most of the heavy moisture associated with this disturbance will remain to the east of San Antonio, positioning the city on the ‘dry’ side of the impending system. However, any fluctuations in the system’s trajectory may need some following as they could potentially increase the local chance for rain.

Safety First!
