In the tropics, we will feel the effects of an area of disturbed weather that’s now in the southern Gulf of Mexico during the next several days. A low is expected to form this weekend, and the National Hurricane Center gives this feature a medium chance of becoming a tropical or subtropical depression sometime next week. The setup for development is complicated, as this feature will be affected by a front — and the exact position of that front is uncertain at this time. Regardless of development, all of South Florida should expect periods of heavy rain and potential flooding through the middle of next week.
Elsewhere, Kirk has weakened slightly in the central Atlantic, but it remains a powerful hurricane. Kirk is forecast to turn to the northeast and become post-tropical early next week before it reaches the northwestern coast of France and the southern British Isles. Leslie is forecast to become a hurricane in the central Atlantic on Saturday, but it is expected to remain over open waters.
