The National Hurricane Center is currently monitoring several areas in the Atlantic basin with potential for tropical development, although the formation chances for any of these systems remain relatively low in the coming days.

In the Gulf of Mexico, a large area of showers and thunderstorms persists in the northwest, bringing heavy rainfall to the northern Gulf Coast. However, development into a tropical system is unlikely.

Meanwhile, a tropical wave in the western Caribbean Sea is expected to bring rain to Belize and the Yucatan Peninsula before potentially showing some development in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico late this weekend or early next week.

Over in the Atlantic, a non-tropical low-pressure system east of North Carolina could gain some tropical or subtropical characteristics in the next few days, but further development is not expected once it moves over cooler waters.

An elongated trough of low pressure in the eastern tropical Atlantic and a tropical wave east of the Leeward Islands are also being monitored, with low chances of development in the near term.

While the overall outlook remains relatively calm, residents in Florida are reminded to stay informed about the latest forecasts and advisories from the National Hurricane Center and their local National Weather Service office. The situation can change quickly, and it’s always better to be prepared.
