Monitoring two areas of disturbed weather in Atlantic | FOX 26 Houston Tropical Weather Update
We are now officially in what is typically the busiest month of hurricane season! There's some good news though. Disturbance in the NW Gulf of Mexico near Houston should move over land early Tuesday which ends the chance of tropical formation. However there are two other tropical waves with a MEDIUM 40% chance of development. One is in the Eastern Caribbean and could make it into the SW Gulf by this weekend. The other is still far out in the Eastern Atlantic which gives us several days to watch it. The next two names on the list are Francine and Gordon. The peak of hurricane season is September 10.

Ernesto continues track toward Bermuda
Hurricane Ernesto is barreling toward the island of Bermuda as a category two storm. The system could make a direct impact on the island on Saturday morning, bringing the threat for winds up to 100 mph. The forecast track keeps the system well away from the US East Coast, but over the next few days it looks like it will brush by the far eastern provinces of Canada and eventually bring some high wind and rain to places like Iceland, Ireland and Scotland. Elsewhere, everything is pretty quiet across the Atlantic basin. There?s a sizable plume of Saharan dust that has moved into the Atlantic Ocean, so for now activity is going to be limited, but we are getting into the busiest time of the year so by the end of this month and especially September , we still expect a flurry of tropical activity.
