The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is monitoring three areas in the Atlantic basin that could develop into tropical cyclones in the coming days.
The remnants of Tropical Storm Gordon have reformed into an area of low pressure in the Central Subtropical Atlantic.
While the associated shower and thunderstorm activity is currently disorganized, some additional development is possible over the next couple of days as it moves north or north-northeastward. However, conditions are expected to become less favorable for development after that time. The NHC gives this system a 30% chance of formation within the next 48 hours and 7 days.

Central and Western Subtropical Atlantic
An area of low pressure situated about 750 miles southeast of Bermuda is showing little change in organization.
Despite only marginally conducive environmental conditions, some development is possible as this system meanders over the open waters of the central or western Subtropical Atlantic through early next week. It has a 20% chance of formation within 48 hours and a 30% chance within 7 days.
Northwestern Caribbean Sea and Southeastern Gulf of Mexico
A broad area of low pressure could form over the northwestern Caribbean Sea by early next week. Gradual development of this system is possible, and a tropical depression could form as it moves slowly north or northwestward over the northwestern Caribbean Sea and into the southern Gulf of Mexico through the middle of next week. The formation chance for this system is near 0% within 48 hours but increases to a medium 40% within 7 days.
The NHC will continue to monitor these areas and provide updates as necessary. It is important for residents in the potentially affected areas to stay informed and be prepared for possible tropical weather developments.
