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. Despite this activity, the latter system does not currently pose a threat to land. As the hurricane season progresses, which runs from June 1 to November 30, 2024 is expected to be extremely active, with predictions from Colorado State University estimating 23 named storms, including 12 hurricanes.

The next names on the list are Helene and Isaac, highlighting the ongoing need for preparedness in coastal areas. The current season has already seen four hurricanes and three tropical storms, emphasizing the importance of vigilance. Forecasters advise locals to stay informed as conditions evolve.
