TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — A tropical depression could form as an area of low pressure moves toward the Gulf of Mexico, the National Hurricane Center said.
The area of low pressure could form early next week as it moves over the Caribbean Sea.
“A tropical wave likely develops in the western Caribbean early next week. Right now, there’s a 40% chance in seven days. Many of the models drift the system north into the Gulf of Mexico by the middle of next week. Since the system has yet to form, it’s far too early to know where it will head or how strong it will be. More details will emerge as the system forms and organizes,” Max Defender 8 Meteorologist Leigh Spann said.
Formation chance is 40% in the next seven days.
The remainder of Gordon still brings showers and thunderstorms to the central subtropical Atlantic.
Some development is possible in the next few days as it moves north, but conditions are expected to become less helpful for development, according to the NHC.
The chance for development in the next two days is 30%.
Located about 750 miles southeast of Bermuda, an area of low pressure has little change in organization, according to the NHC.
Some development is possible as it goes over open waters through the next week.
A chance of development in the next two days is 20%, with a 30% chance of development in the next seven days.
