Tropical systems threaten Mexico and US Gulf Coast

Multiple tropical systems are developing across the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, threatening parts of Mexico and the United States.

In the Pacific, a low-pressure area south of Michoacán has a 90% probability of developing into a tropical cyclone within 48 hours. If it forms, it could be the third active cyclone in the region alongside Hurricane Karina and Tropical Storm Lowell. Meanwhile, in the Atlantic, a low-pressure zone north of the Yucatán Peninsula has reached a 50% chance of cyclonic development, prompting monitoring in Quintana Roo.

In the Gulf of Mexico, meteorologists warn that a tropical depression or tropical storm, potentially named Edouard, may form near the Louisiana coast. This system is expected to move inland toward the Texas-Louisiana border, bringing heavy rainfall and potential flooding to Southeast Texas, including Houston.

In Veracruz, Mexico, Conagua reports that a low-pressure channel and tropical wave 34 will bring heavy rains and thunderstorms to several river basins, including the Tonalá and Coatzacoalcos rivers.
