Tropical Update: Chance of tropical storm in Gulf

A tropical wave in the Southeast Caribbean has a low 10% chance of developing into a tropical system over the next few days as it moves towards the Northwest Caribbean. This weekend through early next week there's a low 20% chance that we could have a tropical depression or storm in the Gulf of Mexico. This system will likely stay south of Houston but keep checking back for updates. No other tropical activity is expected in the Atlantic basin over the next few days. The Eastern Pacific also remains quiet with no tropical activity for now.
