Tropical Development Potential in Caribbean

As hurricane season enters its final month, three areas in the Atlantic are being monitored for potential tropical development, with the western Caribbean having the highest chances. The National Hurricane Center has indicated a 50-60% likelihood of a low-pressure system organizing into a tropical depression over the weekend, possibly moving toward the Gulf of Mexico. Meanwhile, another area near Puerto Rico has a slim 10% chance of development but is expected to merge with the Caribbean system, bringing additional moisture to the region. Computer models remain uncertain about the exact trajectory and intensity of any developing systems. Interests in the Caribbean and Gulf areas should remain vigilant as conditions evolve. Overall, the tropics are heating up once again, with significant rainfall expected in parts of Central America and Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula next week.
