The 2024 hurricane season is showing signs of picking back up with a low-pressure area near Texas and Mexico in the Gulf Coast. The National Hurricane Center has identified three potential areas for tropical depression formation, with one having an 80% chance within the next 48 hours. Despite a brief lull in storms, experts predict that this season will be busier than normal.
In the Western Gulf of Mexico, a low-pressure area is causing increased thunderstorms and showers, expected to develop into a tropical depression in the upcoming week. Residents along the Gulf coast of Mexico and Texas are advised to monitor the storm closely.
Additionally, storms in the central tropical Atlantic are showing signs of organization, potentially forming a tropical depression by Monday and moving westward at 10 mph. In the Eastern and Central Tropical Atlantic, an area near the Cabo Verde Islands is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms with a 50% chance of forming into a tropical depression within the next seven days.
Overall, the 2024 hurricane season is expected to become more active in the coming weeks, with multiple potential storm formations identified by the National Hurricane Center. Residents in the affected areas are encouraged to stay informed and prepare for potential weather events.
