The National Hurricane Center is tracking a tropical wave that could form into a tropical depression by the middle of next week.

Very warm waters, steering currents and other factors point to the Gulf of Mexico as the main area of concern for tropical development over the next couple of weeks, AccuWeather meteorologists say.

A Tropical Disturbance worth watching is trudging west in the eastern tropical Atlantic south of the Cabo Verde Islands. The atmosphere over that part of the ocean is still covered in Saharan dust, and drier air has penetrated from the north.

The CPC's latest outlook highlights a risk of cyclones, at least of tropical depression strength, for Florida and nearby regions.
