Potential Tropical System in Gulf of Mexico Raises Concerns

Meteorologists monitor a developing low-pressure area with a 60% chance of forming into a tropical depression within the next week.

The National Hurricane Center is closely watching a weather system in the northwestern Caribbean Sea, which could develop into a tropical depression as it moves into the Gulf of Mexico.
Current forecasts give the system a 60% chance of development over the next seven days, with warm Gulf waters potentially fueling its growth.
Meteorologists have outlined four possible scenarios, ranging from no development to a significant tropical storm or hurricane impacting the U.S. Gulf Coast.
The system is expected to bring heavy rains to Central America regardless of its development into a tropical storm.
In addition to this potential system, the NHC is also tracking three other areas of low pressure in the Atlantic, though none pose an immediate threat to the U.S.
