WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — The National Hurricane Center on Friday is watching three area of unsettled weather in the Atlantic and Caribbean for possible tropical development.
One in the Gulf of Mexico has a moderate chance of developing into a tropical depression or storm. Longer range models spin up a tropical cyclone by the middle of next week.

However, long-range predictions are still low confidence. Some take it toward the Bay of Campeche, while others take it toward the Gulf coast states.
"This is some good news," WPTV First Alert Weather meteorologist Jennifer Correa said. "Look how the American model is less aggressive, and more so, the European, too. Looks like the models are starting to back off a little bit. There's still gonna be something developing. Of course, a lot of uncertainty at the moment since we're still well away from the timing of when this will happen."
Elsewhere, out in the Atlantic, what used to be Tropical Storm Gordon is slowly pushing to the north and is not a threat to any land.
There's also another wave that is no threat to anyone. It will eventually push into the north Atlantic, too.
