SUMMARY: Chief Meteorologist Patrick Bigby provides a tropical update, reporting two areas of interest. The remnants of Gordon currently have a 20% chance of redeveloping within a week, hindered by wind shear. Another area in the Caribbean also has a 20% chance of formation but may evolve next week, with potential movement towards the Gulf of Mexico. Bigby emphasizes the uncertainty in storm models, comparing the more intense GFS model to the weaker European model, urging viewers not to rely on a single forecast.
