Potential Tropical System Brewing in the Gulf of Mexico

An area of low pressure in the northwest Caribbean or eastern Gulf of Mexico could potentially develop into a tropical depression or storm this weekend into early next week. If a system forms, it is likely to track towards Florida, although the impacts are uncertain. Wind shear is currently high, hindering tropical development, but conditions may become more favorable in the coming days. Floridians are advised to stay updated on the forecast changes and review their preparation plans as we enter the peak of hurricane season.
