We're closely watching the western Caribbean as we expect an area of low pressure to form accompanied by clusters of tropical downpours over the next several days.
Once this system move into the Gulf of Mexico - it will have decent chances of becoming our next tropical depression or storm.
Conditions are generally conducive for development in the Gulf with very warm water and minimal wind shear.
We'll continue to track this developing situation very closely

There is also an area of interest that is following a similar track to Tropical Storm Joyce, which is in the almost central Atlantic Ocean.
This has a high probability of development, which can likely be Tropical Storm Kirk as our next name on the list.
Tropical Depression Joyce will continue to weaken as it turns north in the Central Atlantic and doesn't pose a threat to land.
Hurricane Isaac has now weakened to a tropical storm and is expected to become a depression in the next day or two. Isaac doesn't threaten any land either. This is starting to bend slightly eastward, just north of Europe.
We also have newly formed tropical depression (TWELVE) in the eastern Atlantic located about 585 miles WSW of the Cabo Verde Islands.
Strengthening is expected over the next several days and it could become a hurricane by mid-week.
As of now - models show the system curving north well before it reaches any land areas.
