The Western Hemisphere's first tropical system of 2021 could form by next week.
Accuweather reported on Thursday that an area of low pressure was being monitored a few hundred miles south of the Gulf of Tehuantepec and that the water in the region is "anomalously warm" at 89 degrees Fahrenheit. Water at just 80 degrees Fahrenheit is considered to be at a critical temperature threshold for tropical development, it noted. Tropical storm systems form when water is extremely warm and with the absence of disruptive winds or "wind shear."More Related News
