Forecasters from the National Hurricane Center are monitoring two potential tropical systems, one of which may form over the northwestern Caribbean Sea with a 20% chance of development over the next week. This system is expected to move slowly northward or northwestward, potentially affecting the Gulf of Mexico. In addition, the remnants of Tropical Depression Gordon are being observed as they produce disorganized showers and thunderstorms, with a 60% chance of reformation within the upcoming week.
