SUMMARY: Currently, there’s minimal activity in the Northwest Caribbean as hurricane season continues. The remnants of Gordon pose no immediate threat, with no developments expected in the next couple of days. Forecasts suggest that any potential system may emerge early next week as steering currents change, allowing a system to potentially enter the southern Gulf of Mexico. However, where it goes beyond that remains unclear due to timing uncertainties. The next named storms are Helen, Isaac, and Joyce. For the week ahead, expect hot temperatures near 90°F with mostly dry conditions, posing no concerns in the tropics.

The National Hurricane Center is currently tracking three areas in the tropics: two in open waters and one in the northwest Caribbean. We’ll focus on the potential development in the Caribbean.

We’ll begin next week mostly dry, then less confidence as we will likely be watching the Gulf for a potential tropical system. At this time it’s far too soon to say what will happen for sure, but one thing that looks fairly obvious is that whatever tries to form in the NW Caribbean will likely get pulled north into the Gulf by early/mid next week. The exact path is a bit trickier. We must wait for something to form before we are confident on the eventual path. Right now, it does appear that the most likely scenario is for the system to be in the central or eastern Gulf next week as opposed to the western Gulf. Stay tuned for updates.
