center of the cyclone is forecast to be near the coast of the
southern Bay of Campeche tonight through Thursday.
Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph (55 km/h) with higher gusts.
Some strengthening is forecast during the next 48 hours, and the
depression is likely to become a tropical storm today.

The way the record is showing of early season storms, it could very well be a cat 2 and set that record alsoImo, it has a good chance but it would be a category 1.
Honestly I might sound crazy here but I would think this would be a stronger storm given the nice broad anticyclone at 200mb to fan out the outflow and ventilate the storm, especially on its N/NE side, and there’s not much shear to get in the way of it,?combine that with AN SSTs, that’s a pretty good environment when it comes to the wind fields, with this look I’d think a 960-970mb storm isn’t out of the realm of possibilities View attachment 42466View attachment 42467View attachment 42468
I can certainly think of several possible ways this one craps the bed, inner core structure (large/broad or initial weaker system favors slower intensification and/or a weaker storm), dry air and shear from the upper trough to its W-NW, excess low-level stretching deformation disturbs a relatively weak cyclone and in the right circumstances could induce dissipation, an entirely new storm to form or very little if any intensification. Certainly a favorable environment but I’m pretty skeptical of the strong solutions until I see how much land interaction it has with Mexico. My personal hunch is we see more than forecast and this strugglesHonestly I might sound crazy here but I would think this would be a stronger storm given the nice broad anticyclone at 200mb to fan out the outflow and ventilate the storm, especially on its N/NE side, and there’s not much shear to get in the way of it,?combine that with AN SSTs, that’s a pretty good environment when it comes to the wind fields, with this look I’d think a 960-970mb storm isn’t out of the realm of possibilities View attachment 42466View attachment 42467View attachment 42468
I was at the gym and saw the storm track and thought of ya. Be safePretty quiet in here. I guess there's not much to talk about until the next batch of models start coming in later this evening.
