Tracking the Tropics: Potential tropical system likely to form in Gulf next week, while Gordon could

There are two different areas we are monitoring for the possibility of tropical development.
The first disturbance is in the central Atlantic and will likely become a fish storm, which means it will not impact any landmass. It includes remnants of Gordon, which was the latest tropical storm to form. A tropical depression or storm could re-form in a few days. There's a 50 percent chance for development over the next seven days, with a 20 percent over the next two days.
The second area of development possible is in the Caribbean Sea.
Right now, a slow-moving disturbance has a low chance over the next week of forming a low-pressure system over the northwestern Caribbean. There's no immediate development chance and it remains at 20 percent over the next seven days.
However, we need to watch this portion of the Caribbean closely because of something called the "Central American Gyre," which starts to become active in the late spring into the early fall.
The Central American Gyre, a large area of weak, low pressure, is active over Central America. This system can occasionally spin off more areas of compact, low pressure that can eventually become tropical storms or even hurricanes.

Why can’t they just say, “there is no tropical activity at this time, but we will keep monitoring the tropics for any new developments.”

@ronnieadams9174 that's essentially what I did say, but some people see an area highlighted closer to home and want to know what's going to come of it. I was trying to be transparent and explain it's too early to tell and we'll have to wait until early next week. Guess I can't win them all...

Informative! Also, are you from the Philly/South Jersey area? Your accent sounds like home 😎🙌

[@ColleenCampbellTV]

@BIIIKES hahah yes, you caught me. I've tried to mute it down for on air throughout the years, but sometimes it just shines through. I guess some people find it annoying (see comment below lol) I'm doing my best.

[@BIIIKES]

@@ColleenCampbellTV Haha, don't mute it. You know how unapologetic we are up here. 🤘 Be you. 🥂
