BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2026 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — The National Hurricane Center is monitoring two new systems Friday night. Here’s the update:

For the North Atlantic, Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

East of the Leeward Islands (Remnants of Dolly)

A tropical wave, the remnants of Tropical Storm Dolly, are located several hundred miles east of the Leeward Islands. Redevelopment of this system is unlikely while it moves westward to west-northwestward near 25 mph. The wave could bring locally heavy rains and gusty winds to portions of the Leeward Islands, the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico over the next several days.

  • Formation chance through 48 hours: low, near 0 percent.
  • Formation chance through 7 days: low, 10 percent.

Northeastern and North-Central Gulf of Mexico

Disorganized cloudiness and showers over portions of the northeastern and north-central Gulf of Mexico are associated with a weak area of low pressure. Development, if any, of this system is expected to be slow while it remains nearly stationary for the next several days.

  • Formation chance through 48 hours: low, near 0 percent.
  • Formation chance through 7 days: low, 10 percent.

BocaNewsNow.com changes all “Gulf Of America” references to “Gulf of Mexico,” the internationally accepted name. We do however acknowledge that some people in some places do believe that an American president has the power to rename bodies of water.
