On Tuesday, meteorologists monitored two areas that could potentially become the next tropical depression or storm.

The National Hurricane Center said in a tropical weather forecast at 8 p.m. that a low pressure area could develop over the northwestern Caribbean Sea this weekend.

“Thereafter, slow development of this system is possible through early next week as the system moves slowly north or northwest over the northwestern Caribbean Sea,” meteorologists wrote.

The hurricane center indicated there was a 20% chance of development in the next seven days.

Meanwhile, meteorologists were still monitoring the remnants of Tropical Depression Gordon in the central subtropical Atlantic. The system was producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms and was expected to interact with a non-tropical low pressure area to its north over the next few days.

“Environmental conditions could become more favorable for development later this week, and a tropical depression or storm could re-form within a few days as the system moves slowly northward over the central subtropical Atlantic,” meteorologists wrote.

The hurricane center gave it a 30% chance of developing in the next two days and a 60% chance of doing so in the next week. It poses no threat to land.

Weather experts at Colorado State University still expect 2024 to be an “extremely active” hurricane season with 23 named storms, 12 of which will become hurricanes and six of which will reach major hurricane strength with sustained winds of 111 mph (178 km/h) or higher.

The season has produced four hurricanes and three tropical storms so far. The next names on the list are Helene and Isaac.

The season runs from June 1st to November 30th.
