Florida Watching Tropics as Gulf System Remains Weak

NOOA

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring the tropics this week, but there is no immediate threat to Florida.

Tropical Depression Two is active in the Bay of Campeche, located in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico. The system is weak and moving slowly, with no impacts expected for Florida or the U.S. Gulf Coast.

However, forecasters are watching a different area closer to home. A low-pressure system could form late this week near the southeastern U.S. coastline. That includes areas just offshore of Florida’s Atlantic coast or possibly the eastern Gulf of Mexico.

The chance of development is low — near zero in the next 48 hours. But the chance rises slightly to 20 percent over the next seven days. Forecasters say if it forms, it could become a tropical or subtropical system and drift slowly off the coast.

Right now, there are no watches, warnings, or threats to Florida. But the National Hurricane Center urges residents to monitor forecasts as the Atlantic hurricane season continues to ramp up.
