Tropical Threat Looms: Strong Systems Could Strike Mexico Coast!

Bay of Campeche, Mexico - In the heart of summer, the weather in Jacksonville is stirring up quite a buzz. As of June 29, 2025, there are clear signs of disturbances brewing in the tropics, particularly regarding two systems that could bring rain and storms to our area in the coming days. Weather.com reports that a tropical disturbance, designated as EP95, located south of Central America, holds an 80% to 90% chance of developing into a tropical system within the next week. Meanwhile, AL91, another disturbance situated in the Bay of Campeche, carries a 70% chance of becoming a tropical system within the same timeline.

This is not the only weather mystery unfolding right now. Even as strong winds sweep through Jacksonville, local residents have been experiencing thunderstorms and heavy clouds looming over the eastern skies. Reports indicate thunderstorms developed before 3 PM yesterday, hinting at possible torrential rains shortly. All these indicators can make for a rather lively atmosphere, both outdoors and in our planning.

Tropical Concerns from the Bay of Campeche

As the National Hurricane Center highlights, the situation in the Bay of Campeche is particularly noteworthy. As of a recent update, the area is seeing well-defined surface circulation and organized shower and thunderstorm activity. Experts suggest a tropical depression could form as soon as the afternoon of June 28, with forecasts implying a west-northwestward movement towards eastern Mexico, expected to make landfall by Monday. The possibility of Tropical Storm Watches or Warnings has also been raised for parts of the Mexican Gulf Coast as soon as today, emphasizing the need for vigilance among residents in those areas. Locally heavy rainfalls are anticipated in southeastern Mexico and Guatemala, as noted by The Advocate.

The sights of strong winds affecting local trees and unusual behavior in wildlife have added to the anticipation in Jacksonville. There have been reports of songbirds taking shelter from the wind, while children ride bikes along Old English. Residents have expressed gratitude with their latest maintenance activities; USPS and Amazon vans were spotted making their rounds in English Estates, while those with green thumbs have been repairing fences and maintaining their lawns amidst unpredictable weather.

What’s Next for Jacksonville?

So, what can local residents expect? Weather.com suggests keeping a close watch on the skies, especially in the afternoons over the coming days. The winds may lead to further showers, and with Monday designated as Trash and Yard Waste Day, preparations should be made accordingly. However, it’s essential to note that Tuesday will not be a Recycle Day, so keep that in mind as you manage your waste.

In closing, the landscape of Jacksonville could shift rather dramatically in the days ahead. As we navigate through the thickening clouds and increasing winds, let’s remain informed and prepared. While disturbances spin in the tropics, the day-to-day life in our city continues to thrive.
