Getting Nervous About The Potential For A Gulf Of Mexico Hurricane

Forecast still shows development of Bay of Campeche storm over weekend, which then stalls just off the Vera Cruz, Mexico coast. The storm doesn't exist yet, but forecasters are now discussing the possibility. That's a dangerous scenario, if it happens, because it's upwind of Tampa, and the storm may eventually move towards Florida.

It's one of the quietest storm seasons since 1966. Would like to keep that.

Nevertheless, the very latest forecast suggests a northward trajectory, coming into the Texas coast at a shallow angle near Corpus Christi, which is almost guaranteed to cause maximum damage there. Wherever it goes, it won't be pretty.

Will keep watching.
