CURRENT TROPICAL CYCLONES:

There are no tropical cyclones at the time of this writing

Southwest Gulf of Mexico:

A trough of low pressure over the southern portion of the Yucatan Peninsula is producing disorganized showers and a few thunderstorms. Some development of this system is possible on Tuesday and Wednesday when the system moves slowly west-northwestward to northwestward over the far southwestern Gulf of Mexico.

Increasing upper-level winds should prevent significant development late this week. Regardless of development, heavy rain is expected over portions of southern Mexico, Belize, and Guatemala during the next couple of days.
