As tropical activity in the Atlantic ocean As winds calm down, attention will turn back to the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico, where there are increasing signs that atmospheric conditions are favorable for the development of what could be the next named storm sometime next week.
The National Hurricane Center is now officially monitoring the area for tropical development. The agency currently estimates medium chances for development within the next seven days. According to the FOX Forecast Center, the development may worsen even after seven days.

Gordon’s remains among 3 tracked areas in the Atlantic
In the open Atlantic, the remnants of Gordon could once again develop into a tropical depression or tropical storm before moving into the North Atlantic.
Another well-defined low pressure system near Ex-Gordon has been designated Invest 96-L. Again, there is a small chance that it will at least develop into a tropical depression before moving north into the open ocean.
Over Africa, one or two disturbances will move from the continent into the Atlantic next week, farther south than most systems this year. Nothing to observe at the moment, but they seem to tell us that the hurricane season is returning to something approaching normal in September.
As the likelihood of the next tropical threat in the Atlantic increases, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) is now closely monitoring a total of three areas for possible developments.
