The 2019 Hurricane season is off to quick start. First a short-lived Andrea a little over a week ago, and now the possibility of Barry forming right as the season officially gets underway.

What we’re watching is a disorganized area of showers and storms in the Bay of Campeche. Thanks to the ridge parked over the Gulf, this really isn’t a threat to the U.S. However, it will bring periods of heavy rain to eastern Mexico over the next few days regardless of whether or not a storm forms. Some of this rain may spill over into southern Texas by mid-week – which could actually be beneficial in areas with a minor drought ongoing.

Hurricane hunters will be investigating this area on Sunday, if necessary.
