Potential Tropical Cyclone One has formed in the northeastern Gulf and has the potential to become Arthur in the next 24 hours. The system will provide widespread heavy rain across the deep south as we head through the end of the work week. Flash flooding may be a problem for some areas. The storm will stay away from Hampton Roads.

A system bringing disorganized showers and storm to northeastern Mexico and southern Texas may reemerge into the Gulf this week where the environment could be conducive for development.

Over the next few days the moisture from Tropical Storm Cristina in the Eastern Pacific is expected to drift into the Southwestern Gulf. When this happens a broad area of low pressure may form bringing increased rain chances to Eastern Mexico. Significant development is unlikely due to the hostile environmental conditions but we will keep an eye on it. The rest of the Atlantic Basin remains quiet and will be for quite some time.
Get ready Hampton Roads! We will start getting much warmer tomorrow with a big increase in dew points. This will make things feel very sticky outside for the next few days. We will also have to watch for pop-ups storms during the afternoons heading into the weekend.
