Tropical wave bringing more heavy rains across Mexico

The seasonal weather phenomenon the Central American Gyre can span hundreds of miles, bringing heavy rains as far as Mexico. It can occasionally spin off tropical cyclones like this one from 2018, which became the devestating Hurricane Michael. (NASA/Wikimedia Commons)

Meteored is reporting that just such conditions exist now as tropical humidity and high temperatures come up against cold fronts sweeping down from the north. Add in the CAG and a tropical cyclone or two and intense storms could be in the offing.

The SMN also issued an alert about two low-pressure areas that could generate tropical cyclones over the Atlantic in the coming days, while a potential low-pressure system has been identified in the western Caribbean Sea. 

The two systems over the Atlantic have less than a 30% chance of developing into tropical cyclones, but the system in the Caribbean has a 40% chance of becoming a tropical cyclone in the next seven days as it approaches the Yucatán Peninsula.

Another low-pressure area appears to be forming in the Pacific south of the Baja California Peninsula. On Thursday morning, the SMN reported that the system has a 20% chance of becoming a tropical cyclone in the next seven days.
