What are you tracking in the tropics?
A new area in the western Caribbean is one to watch for over the next 7 days. The region near Cancun has a low chance of developing at this moment and poses an even lower threat to the Texas Coast. There’s an area of potential development in the open Atlantic with 60% development odds as it approaches the Bahamas.
