Now, for your severe weather update for the Southeast Region. Could see severe weather potential around June 20th-July 2nd.
Now, for your tropical update. In the Atlantic, a large area of cloudiness and thunderstorms extending from Eastern Honduras Northeastward over the Northwestern Caribbean Sea are associated with a tropical wave. Although, there are currently no signs of a surface circulation, some development of this system is possible over the Northwest Caribbean Sea before it moves inland over Belize and the Yucatan Peninsula later today. The National Hurricane Center is giving this system a medium chance, 30%, of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours. Regardless of development, heavy rains and gusty winds are likely over portions of Honduras, the Bay Islands, Guatemala, Belize, and the Yucatan Peninsula during the next day or so. In the Eastern Pacific, no development is expected over the next couple of days.
Hope yall are having a great Monday and I'll have another post tomorrow morning.
