Forecasters also say they think that a broad area of low pressure could brew into something more significant in the warm waters of the central or western Gulf of Mexico by early week.
ORLANDO, Fla. — The National Hurricane Center forecasts continued development of two systems in the Atlantic that could form into the season’s next tropical depression or storm while also keeping tabs on a system expected to form in the Gulf of Mexico.
“Environmental conditions appear conducive for gradual development of this system, and a tropical depression could form during the next several days while it moves west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph across the central tropical Atlantic,” forecasters said.Farther east is a broad area of low pressure that is mixed with a tropical wave that emerged off the coast of Africa earlier this week that has a large area of disorganized convection southwest of the Cape Verde Islands.
Odds increased for both systems since Wednesday as did a third system the NHC expects to form early next week in the Gulf of Mexico. The Pacific has been busier so far this season with eight named storms, but the Atlantic could catch up soon as systems have warmer waters that could spur development.
