Tropical Weather Forecast - All quiet in Atlantic, watching for Pacific storm development
The tropics remain very quiet, but a weak area of low pressure is bringing more rain to Florida today. It's not expected to affect Texas. The tropical disturbance we were watching last week, Invest 91L, fizzled as it moved into the Caribbean running into very dry air. Even though the Atlantic basin is very quiet right now, keep in mind that the peak of hurricane season is just a few days away. So review your hurricane safety preparedness and always stay alert.

Tropical Weather Forecast - Invest 91L in the Atlantic expected to move westward
The tropical wave (Invest 91L) over the central Atlantic is producing a small area of shower activity. Environmental conditions are only marginally conducive for development, and the chances of this system becoming a tropical depression continue to diminish. The wave is expected to move generally westward at 10 to 15 mph, and will likely be near the Lesser Antilles by the middle part of next week.

Tropical Weather Forecast - Watching Lorena and Invest 91L
In the tropics, Lorena in the eastern Pacific Ocean has weakened today to a tropical storm near the Baja California Peninsula. It's starting to spread clouds and some heavy downpours into an area from Tucson, AZ to El Paso. This system will not have a big, direct impact on Houston, but will probably play a role in increasing our chance for showers and storms on Sunday.

Tropical Weather Forecast - Watching Hurricane Lorena, other possible storm development
A hurricane named Lorena is bringing wind and rain to Cabo San Lucas and the Baja California peninsula and could eventually bring a shot of rain to the Southwest. A long stretch of land from far southern California through southern Arizona, New Mexico and Texas could get a shot of rain from the storm's remnants this weekend. For now, the forecast is not certain, but locally, we expect increasing rain Sunday and Monday. In the Atlantic, the next tropical storm could form this week very far from Texas in the middle of the ocean and we'll monitor it for any surprises. But it doesn't look like a threat for now.
