Potential tropical development possible next week in the Gulf of Mexico | FOX 26 Tropical Weather Forecast
Chance for potential tropical development has increased to 50% for the NW Caribbean and Southern Gulf of Mexico over the next seven days. That means we should be alert for a possible tropical system in the Gulf, especially mid-late next week. Models are not certain exactly where this system will track yet so keep checking back for updates! Two other disturbances in the Atlantic, Invest 96-L and the remnants of Gordon are unlikely to develop into tropical systems. Environmental conditions appear unfavorable and chances have dropped to 10%.

Three potential areas of development in Atlantic
We are still monitoring three areas across the Atlantic basin with the potential for tropical cyclone development. An area of low pressure could form in the NW Caribbean and push into the southern Gulf of Mexico over the next week. Chances have increased to 40% over the next 7 days. Models are still torn as to whether it would move closer to Mexico, Houston or Florida so keep checking back for updates. Disorganized low pressure in the west-central Atlantic has a low 20% chance for development over the next week. The remnants of Gordon in the central Atlantic are expected to drift north and stay away from land. But there's a 30% chance Gordon could turn back into a tropical system.
