MIDWAY, Fla. (WTXL) --  A resurgence of moisture straight from the tropics is influencing the increase in general shower and thunderstorm activity across the eastern and northern Gulf coast early this week.  Upper winds are too strong to support any organization of a tropical low in this region.

Moisture remain vast and abundant in the western Caribbean and the southwestern Gulf of Mexico through this week.  There are some continued indications of a weak low-pressure center forming in the Yucatan Peninsula region.  While the actual form and future movement of the possible disturbance remain quite unclear, there has been a tendency for the feature to remain in the southwestern Gulf over the weekend.

While there are no signs that should cause tropical alarms, we'll maintain a closer watch on developments in this region through late this week.
