  • A trough in the Caribbean is getting a little better organized and now has a high chance of development over the next 2-5 days. A tropical depression could form as early as today as the system moves NW towards the Yucatan Peninsula. Hurricane Hunters may investigate the system later today. Latest models still showing a path towards LA/TX/MS early next week. Next name on the list is Ida.
  • A broad trough in the Central Atlantic has a high chance of development over the next 5 days. A TD could form in the next couple of days. This one will stay away from the U.S.
