UPDATE: September 11, 2010: The shower and thunderstorms around this area of low pressure have increased in coverage and intensity the last 12 hours. The SST and lack of shear in the area should allow this area of low pressure to continue to develop and reach tropical cyclone status within the next 24 to 36 hours. The movement is a bit uncertain, but looking at yesterday and today's visible satellite images, it appears to be moving to the west into the western Caribbean Sea.
Old Discussion:
An area of low pressure and disorganized shower and thunderstorm activity has sprung up in the eastern Gulf of Mexico near the Windward Islands. The National Hurricane Center has a 50% chance of this area of low pressure area organizing into a tropical cyclone within the next 48 hours. More updates as this system evolves.
