The National Hurricane Center is tracking two possible areas of tropical development over the next 5 days. One is in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico and has a 20% chance of developing over the next 5 days, whatever develops here will likely stay weak and drift toward Texas.
The second area is a tropical wave moving across the southern Atlantic and the National Hurricane Center gives it a 60% chance of developing over the next 5 days as it continues toward the Caribbean. Most models keep this area well south of Florida but we will continue to watch it.
