A new tropical system is potentially forming in the Gulf of Mexico, following a similar path to Hurricane Helene. This system is expected to bring wet and rainy conditions to much of the Gulf Coast, including areas still recovering from the impact of the recent hurricane.
The National Hurricane Center has reported a large, disorganized area of low pressure with showers and thunderstorms over the western Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. There is a medium chance that this system could develop into a tropical storm within the next seven days, with the weekend being the earliest possible timeframe for a tropical depression to form.
