Record-warm ocean heat is lingering in the Gulf and Caribbean, but it’s too soon to tell where the likely system could strike, experts say.

The National Hurricane Center is tracking two disturbances in the Atlantic that have a small chance of becoming tropical depressions or storms.

A large, slowly-spinning system across the northern Caribbean and southern Gulf of Mexico could develop into something serious, forecasters said.

The National Hurricane Center says a tropical depression could form in the coming days, but much about the forecast remains uncertain.

Forecasters are tracking two potential disturbances in the deep Atlantic, far from land, and a Caribbean disturbance that has a growing chance of strengthening within a week. NHC The chances that a new named storm could form in the Caribbean and drift into the Gulf of Mexico next week are growing.

A tropical depression could form next week as an area of low pressure in the Caribbean moves toward the Gulf of Mexico, the National Hurricane Center said Friday.
