WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (CBS12) — The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a new area in the northeastern Gulf of America for possible tropical development early next week, though the chances of formation remain low.
According to the latest Tropical Weather Outlook, an area of low pressure, a region where air pressure is lower than the surrounding atmosphere and where clouds and storms often develop, is expected to form sometime this weekend over the northeastern Gulf.

At this time, tropical development is not expected during the next 48 hours.
The National Hurricane Center gives the disturbance a near 0% chance of developing over the next two days and only a 20% chance of becoming a tropical or subtropical system during the next seven days…
