An elongated trough of low pressure over the eastern and central tropical Atlantic is producing broad shower and thunderstorm activity. A more concentrated area of low pressure may form within this region during the next couple of days. Any development of this system should be slow to occur while the disturbance meanders through the early part of next week and then begins to move west-northwestward across the central tropical Atlantic during the middle to latter part of next week.

* Formation chance through 7 days…low…20 percent

>>> Southwest Gulf of Mexico:

A tropical wave is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms over Belize, Guatemala, and the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. The wave is forecast to move over the Bay of Campeche on Saturday, where it will begin to interact with a frontal boundary. A tropical depression could form during the early or middle part of next week while the system moves slowly northwestward over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico.
