We are still watching the disturbance in the Gulf and slowly moving to the northwest. Hurricane hunters are flying in and around the system gathering data. It is looking good for developing in the next few hours. It could become a depression and or a storm, Lee would be the name. The upper air looks rough right now but in the next 6 to 12 hours the sheer weakens which allows this potential system to strengthen. Good new for us is that it is moving to the northwest. However, with the slow movement this system could become a hurricane if it stay over the Gulf for the next few days.
Katia is now a strong Tropical Storm with wind at 70mph. But this storm will stay out in the Atlantic.
