The National Hurricane Center is tracking three areas of interest in the Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico — all of them with development chances.
Northwestern Gulf of Mexico
A broad area of low pressure just offshore of Texas’ upper coast continues to produce disorganized showers and thunderstorms.
For the next couple of days, the NHC says the system will meander near the coast, possibly developing further if it stays offshore long enough. The system is expected to move inland Tuesday, and development is not expected after that.
Regardless of development, the NHC says heavy rains and flash flooding is possible over the next few days.
Formation chances remain low, holding at only 10% for both the next 48 hours and the next seven days.
Lesser Antilles and Caribbean Sea
A tropical wave near the Lesser Antilles is producing disorganized thunderstorms and gusty winds in the area, Puerto Rico and adjacent Caribbean waters.
According to the NHC, environmental conditions are expected to become more conducive for development when the system reaches the western Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico later this week and into the weekend, which is when a tropical depression could form.
Formation chances remain low for now (near 0%), but jump to 40% in the next seven days, which is considered “medium.”

Eastern Tropical Atlantic
Another tropical wave off the west coast of Africa is also producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms.
The environmental conditions are forecast to become more conducive for development, and the NHC says a tropical depression could form in a few days as the system moves west-northwestward.
According to the NHC, this system could produce areas of heavy rain and gusty winds across portions of the Cabo Verde Islands soon.
For now, formation chances remain low at 10% for the next 48 hours. However, that chance becomes 40% in the weeklong forecast.
