FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — A broad area of low pressure, which would be the remnant of a tropical storm, is expected to form in the southwest Gulf of Mexico by the middle of the week and it could gradually develop and drift eastward toward South Florida, according to the National Hurricane Center.
The system, which the NHC gives a 20% chance of development, would be a remnant of Tropical Storm Agatha, which is currently in the eastern Pacific and expected to develop into a hurricane.
“For us in South Florida, it’s still kind of hard to know if there will be any impacts from any of the remnants and Agatha,” said Robert Garcia, senior meteorologist for the National Weather Service.
