image: A low pressure system over the Bay of Campeche in the southwestern Caribbean appears to be getting organized on satellite imagery. A visible image taken at 9:35 a.m. EDT from the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite, GOES-13 today, June 28, shows a large area of cloudiness over the Yucatan Peninsula. Those clouds contain moderate to scattered strong convection (thunderstorms), some of which have heavy rainfall. GOES satellites are operated by NOAA, and this image was created by the NASA/NOAA GOES Project, located at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md. At 8 a.m. EDT on June 28, System 95L was located near 20 degrees North and 93 degrees West. It was just east of a tropical wave that runs along 94 West and 95 West. System 95L has a minimum central pressure of 1007 millibars. It is moving to the west-northwest at 5 to 10 mph. view more
