Well that didn't take long... It's the first day of hurricane season and as of the 4 p.m. CDT update from the NHC the system that was Tropical Storm Amanda in the Pacific has been designated Tropical Depression Three in the Bay of Campeche in the southern Gulf. You can see the official 5 day forecast track below. This storm will like become Tropical Storm Christobal tomorrow. You'll notice that it's not really in a hurry to get anywhere. This is one of the main factors that is causing a lot of uncertainty in the forecast right now. Don't take this as a forecast, but beyond the 5 day mark a landfall somewhere from Louisiana to Texas on Sunday or Monday as a tropical storm or maybe even a hurricane looks to be the most likely scenario at this point. My guess is that it'll be the middle of the week or even Thursday or Friday before forecast confidence solidifies.
I'll keep you updated as the week progresses.
