Monitoring the Gulf for potential tropical threat this weekend as overall Atlantic remains quiet

The FOX Forecast Center is closely watching the eastern Gulf as multiple forecast models begin to indicate that a broad area of storms could attempt to spin up over the warm Gulf waters later this weekend. While it is too early to pinpoint the exact timing, strength or potential impacts, there is still a chance a tropical system could develop. The exclusive FOX Weather Tropical Threat shows only a low chance of development through next week, but those along the eastern Gulf Coast, including Florida, should keep an eye on the forecast in the coming days.
