SUMMARY: Two monitored areas in the Atlantic show storm clusters, with no marked development for System Gordon, which is nearing completion. Currently, there are thunderstorms due to a Central American gyre. Models suggest potential development in the Gulf or Northwestern Caribbean early next week, but outcomes vary significantly between GFS and euro models. GFS anticipates a more organized system heading north, while the euro predicts a less defined rainmaker. The timing and path of any potential system remain uncertain, with clarity expected mid-next week about its possible landfall. Preparations may be necessary, but definitive forecasts are still pending.

Chief Meteorologist Chris Franklin says don’t waste time this weekend looking at models. Until something forms…if at all…they are useless!
