Tomorrow begins the 2022 Atlantic Hurricane Season and there’s potential for tropical development in the Gulf of Mexico this week. LRN meteorologist John Wetherbee says a Pacific hurricane by name of the Agatha made landfall in southern Mexico yesterday and there’s a good chance its remnants could reform near the southeastern Gulf of Mexico. He says confidence is growing that we could see our first named storm of the season…:

He says, if it develops, it should move east and northeast and not threaten Louisiana.
