The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical Storm Gamma, located just north of the Yucatan Peninsula over the extreme southern Gulf of Mexico - www.nhc.noaa.gov/#Gamma
Elsewhere, a tropical wave, accompanied by a low pressure system, is located over the central Caribbean Sea a couple of hundred miles southeast of Jamaica. The associated shower and thunderstorm activity is beginning to show some signs of organization. Environmental conditions are expected to be conducive for additional development, and a tropical depression is likely to form within the next day or two. It has a high (70 percent) chance of formation during the next 48 hours and a high (80 percent) chance during the next five days. The system should move west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph across the central and western Caribbean Sea today through Tuesday, and then move into the southern or southeastern Gulf of Mexico on Tuesday night and Wednesday. Locally heavy rainfall and gusty winds will be possible across portions of Hispaniola, Jamaica, Cuba, and the Cayman Islands during the next few days, and interests on those islands should monitor the progress of this disturbance.
Another tropical wave is located over the central tropical Atlantic. This system has not become any better organized, and any development during the next day or so should be slow to occur while it moves west-northwestward or northwestward at 10 to 15 mph. Significant development is not expected beyond that time due to the system moving into a region of strong upper-level winds. It has a low (10 percent) chance of formation during the next 48 hours and five days.
Also, an area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms over the central Atlantic about 1000 miles east-southeast of Bermuda is associated with a surface trough of low pressure. This system is expected to move toward the west-southwest at around 10 mph, and some slow development is possible during the next couple of days before it too encounters strong upper-level winds. It has a low (10 percent) chance of formation during the next 48 hours and five days. www.hurricanes.gov
Another storm to watch.

Satellite imagery on this Friday morning indicate that shower activity associated with the broad low pressure area over the northwestern Caribbean Sea continues to become better organized. Environmental conditions are expected to be conducive for a tropical depression or a tropical storm to form later today or on Saturday if the system remains over the waters of the northwestern Caribbean Sea or the southern Gulf of Mexico. It has a high (90 percent) chance of formation during the next 48 hours and five days. Interests in the Yucatan Peninsula and northern Central America should monitor the progress of this system while it moves generally northwestward, as tropical storm watches or warnings may be required for portions of these areas later today or tonight. Regardless of development, this system is expected to produce heavy rains, with possible flash flooding, over portions of southeastern Mexico, Central America, and western Cuba during the next several days. An Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft is scheduled to investigate the system this afternoon, if necessary.
There is a tropical wave over the eastern Caribbean Sea that is producing a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms, accompanied by locally heavy rainfall and gusty winds. This wave is forecast to move westward at 15 to 20 mph during the next several days, and environmental conditions could become a little more conducive for development when the system is over the central or western Caribbean Sea early next week. It has a near zero chance of formation during the next 48 hours and a low (30 percent) chance during the next five days. - www.hurricanes.gov
Hopefully, this will just be a rainmaker for us. Good time to get the grass cut and lay down fertilizer for your yard as you head into the weekend. Also a good time to fertilize citrus and Avocados and put down some compost. Always a good idea to be prepared. Fingers crossed for no flooding!

The latest official track of Tropical Depression #22. A lot uncertainty with this cyclone, but is still anticipated to gradually strengthen to a possible hurricane while moving slowly across the Western Gulf of Mexico. Residents of Deep South Texas should prepare for a lot of rainfall and gusty winds late in the weekend and early next week.
As you settle down tonight for bed, remember that, on this night...19 years ago, 246 people went to sleep in preparation for their morning flights. 2,606 people went to sleep in preparation for work in the morning tomorrow. 343 firefighters went to sleep in preparation for their morning shift. 60 police officers went to sleep in preparation for morning patrol. 8 paramedics went to sleep in preparation for the morning shift of saving lives. None of them saw past 10:00 am Sept 11, 2001. In one single moment life may never be the same.
As you live and enjoy the breaths you take today and tonight before you go to sleep, in preparation for your life tomorrow, kiss the ones you love, snuggle a little tighter, and never take one second of your life for granted.
Never forget. 🇺🇸🙏🏻

...TROPICAL DEPRESSION STRENGTHENS INTO A TROPICAL STORM...
...ADDITIONAL STRENGTHENING LIKELY DURING THE NEXT FEW DAYS...
NHC has upugraded Tropical Depression Twenty-Six to Tropical Storm Delta. It's the 25th named storm of the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season.
A Hurricane Watch continues for the Cuban provinces of Pinar del Rio and Artemisa, and the Isle of Youth. Hurricane conditions are possible within watch area by Tuesday afternoon, with tropical storm conditions possible by early Tuesday.
A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for the Cayman Islands including Little Cayman and Cayman Brac. Tropical storm conditions are expected there beginning late today.
A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for the Cuba province of La Habana. Tropical Storm conditions are possible within the watch area in Cuba by early Tuesday. For storm information specific to your area, please monitor products issued by your national meteorological service.
At 8 a.m. EDT, the center of Tropical Storm Delta was located over the central Caribbean Sea about 130 miles (210 km) south of Negril, Jamaica, and about 270 miles (440 km) southeast of Grand Cayman. The storm is moving toward the west-northwest near 9 mph (15 km/h), and this general motion should continue for the next day or so. A faster northwestward motion is expected on Tuesday and Wednesday. On the forecast track, the center of Delta is expected to move away from Jamaica later today, move near or over the Cayman Islands later tonight, and approach the Isle of Youth and western Cuba Tuesday afternoon or evening. Delta is forecast to move into the southeastern Gulf of Mexico Tuesday night or early Wednesday.
Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km) from the center. Additional strengthening is expected to occur during the next few days, and the tropical storm is expected to be a hurricane when it moves near or over western Cuba.
A dangerous storm surge will raise water levels by as much as 3 to 5 feet above normal tide levels along the immediate coast of the Isle of Youth and along the south coast of western Cuba near and to right of where the center makes landfall. Near the coast, the surge will be accompanied by large and dangerous waves.
Through midweek, Delta is expected to produce 3 to 5 inches of rain with isolated maximum totals of 8 inches across Jamaica and western Cuba. This rainfall could lead to significant flash floods and mudslides. Over the Cayman Islands, 2 to 4 inches of rainfall will be possible with this system.
The next complete advisory will be issued by NHC at 11 a.m. EDT - www.hurricanes.gov
