DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 700 AM CDT (1200 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression Three
was located near latitude 19.6 North, longitude 92.4 West. The
depression is moving toward the west near 3 mph (5 km/h). The
depression is forecast to move slowly west-southwestward or
southward this afternoon and tonight, and meander over the southern
Bay of Campeche through late Wednesday. On the forecast track, the
center of the cyclone is forecast to be near the coast of the
southern Bay of Campeche tonight through Thursday.
Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph (55 km/h) with higher
gusts. Slow strengthening is expected during the next couple of
days, and the depression is forecast to become a tropical storm
later today. An Air Force Hurricane Hunter aircraft is scheduled
to investigate the system later this morning.
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1003 mb (29.62 inches).

Currently there is a high pressure over Florida (The infamous Bermuda high is over Florida). This is steering it somewhat more westward than usual for June 2nd.
The high over Florida could move and the eastern gulf coast could be affected.
If this pressure drops below 999 mb, this is where it goes:
At the current pressure of 1003 mb, the steering is towards Mexico:
The steering is based on real time and models are based on predicted changes in the atmosphere.
