00:00Hurricane season begins next week.
00:03And during the month of June and even in the mid-July,
00:06you look close to home for tropical development.
00:10We call it homegrown development.
00:12How does it happen?
00:13The interaction between the jet stream and the tropics.
00:15As the jet stream comes on south,
00:17it brings frontal boundaries southward
00:19or upper level lows southward
00:21that can start the process of showers and thunderstorms developing.
00:25Now, if those showers and thunderstorms can sit
00:28over the open, warm waters of the Gulf, the Caribbean,
00:31or off the southeast coast of the United States,
00:33they can slowly develop.
00:34Now, the question is, do we see a pattern like this?
00:37The answer is yes.
00:40Weak dip in the jet stream coming across the Gulf this weekend
00:43and in the next week starts the process.
00:47And in fact, if you already look,
00:49you already see showers and thunderstorms
00:52across the Caribbean and the Gulf.
00:54So we're going to watch this as it comes northward
00:56and there is a small chance.
00:58Look at those yellow areas for development next week.
