In the tropics, we continue to keep a very close eye on the area of low pressure in the western Caribbean. This feature could become a depression in a few days in the Gulf of Mexico. Computer models are not in agreement as to where it will go and what it will be after that — but it does appear that wind shear could limit the strength of whatever manages to form in the Gulf. We do expect increasing tropical moisture in South Florida by the weekend, but beyond that, nothing is certain until (and if) this feature develops a closed circulation. We’ll keep you posted.
Elsewhere, Kirk became a hurricane in the central Atlantic Tuesday afternoon, and it is expected to intensify into a major hurricane while remaining in the open ocean. And the area of low pressure in the eastern Atlantic has a high chance of becoming a depression in the next day or so as it moves slowly westward.
