Tropical Weather Outlook
Statement as of 5:30 PM EDT on June 28, 2005
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico...
Preliminary information from an Air Force Reserve unit
reconnaissance aircraft indicates that the area of low pressure
about 50 miles north-northeast of Veracruz Mexico has developed
into a tropical cyclone very near tropical storm strength.
Advisories will likely be initiated upon receipt of more complete
information from the aircraft. Due to the proximity of the system
to the coastline...little additional development is likely before
it moves inland between Veracruz and Tampico overnight. Locally
heavy rainfall and strong gusty winds will be affecting portions of
the coast of Mexico from Tampico to Veracruz...and tropical storm
warnings will likely be required in this area.
Elsewhere...tropical storm formation is not expected through
Wednesday.
