BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2024 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — There are still three systems on the hurricane center tracking map Friday morning. The system in the Caribbean may become a tropical depression next week, according to forecasters, and the system east of Florida is showing signs of development. Here’s the official outlook as Friday gets underway:
Tropical Weather Outlook NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 200 AM EDT Fri Sep 20 2024. For the North Atlantic… Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
Central Subtropical Atlantic (Remnants of Gordon): Recent satellite wind data shows that an area of low pressure has formed in association with the remnants of Gordon.

Some additional development of this system is possible during the next day or two while it moves northward or north-northeastward.

Formation chance through 48 hours…low…20 percent. Formation chance through 7 days…low…30 percent.
Northwestern Caribbean Sea and Southeastern Gulf of Mexico: A broad area of low pressure could form by early next week over the northwestern Caribbean Sea.
