The disturbance over northeastern Mexico has now been designated Invest 90L and is expected to move into the northwestern Gulf later this week. The National Hurricane Center has increased development odds to 40% over the next 48 hours and 50% over the next 7 days, with a short-lived tropical storm possible Wednesday into Thursday. Regardless of development, the biggest concern is widespread heavy rainfall and flooding across parts of Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi. Flash flooding, river flooding, gusty winds, and coastal flooding are all possible. 📍 For Southwest Florida, there is no threat at this time. Forecast guidance keeps the system well west of Florida, with impacts focused along the northwestern Gulf Coast. We’ll continue to monitor Invest 90L and provide updates as new information becomes available.

What a sky…

New drought update is out and we are continuing to see improvements thanks to recent rainfall---that said we are still in severe drought and need about 34 inches of rain over the next 3 months to remove the drought.

El Niño conditions are present and expected to strengthen into the Northern Hemisphere winter 2026-27. An #ElNino Advisory is now in effect. #ENSO cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/a…

Thanks in part to the developing El Niño, Colorado State University has lowered its forecast for the 2026 Atlantic Hurricane Season. April Outlook • 13 Named Storms • 6 Hurricanes • 2 Major Hurricanes Updated June 10 Outlook • 11 Named Storms • 5 Hurricanes • 2 Major Hurricanes While the forecast is trending downward, it only takes one storm to make it an active season for your community.

We have our first official Area of Interest of the 2026 Atlantic Hurricane Season! The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a potential area of development in the Bay of Campeche, which is expected to originate from the remnants of Tropical Storm Christina after it moves inland across Central America later this week. At this time, development chances remain low—just 10% over the next 7 days—and environmental conditions are not expected to be particularly favorable for significant strengthening. If a system does form, it would likely move toward eastern Mexico, near southern Tamaulipas or northern Veracruz, by late weekend. For the United States, the main impact would be an increase in rain chances across Deep South Texas. There is currently no threat to Florida from this potential development. As always, we’ll keep an eye on it and let you know if anything changes.

6/8: Ochopee's seismograph picked up seismic activity from the earthquake that occurred just west of Cuba at 2PM. You can see the up/down oscillations that occurred on the seismograph shortly after 2PM. Thanks for all of the reports! For more info, visit @USGS_Quakes.

A magnitude 6.1 earthquake struck approximately 104 kilometers (65 miles) off the coast of Cuba on Monday, according to the US Geological Survey

Notable quake, preliminary info: M 6.4 - 118 km WNW of Mantua, Cuba ow.ly/Rwh7106ztxC

This is good. I definitely felt the shake

There is a lot going on right now on the @Space_Station, but fortunately we are all safe and witnessed a spectacular southern aurora show yesterday thanks to a recent solar event.

I spy drier air...humidity will be bit lower next few days. This drier air will also drop rain chances into the weekend.

The rainy season is beginning to chip away at drought conditions across Southwest Florida. Areas that were experiencing extreme drought have seen some improvement over the past week. However, the rainfall deficit remains substantial.

Tropical Storm Amanda formed in the Eastern Pacific Basin today, making it the first tropical system of hurricane season. While nothing has formed in the Atlantic Basin yet, it good reminder we are in Hurricane Season now.
