A tropical depression is likely to form in the Caribbean and could become a tropical storm or hurricane once it reaches the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico next week, forecasters say. Once it has a center, meteorologists will be better able to determine the storm’s possible paths. AccuWeather

With one month left in hurricane season, the National Hurricane Center said Friday said there was a high chance a Caribbean system will form into the season’s next tropical depression while tracking two more systems with potential to develop.

A broad area of low pressure is expected to develop over the southwestern Caribbean Sea during the next day or two. Some gradual development of this system is possible over the weekend, and a tropical depression is likely to form early next week as it drifts north or northwestward through the western Caribbean.
