The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) warned this Thursday about the possible formation of a wide area of low pressure in the northwest Caribbean Sea and the southeast Gulf of Mexico.
According to a post on Facebook, NOAA alerted that this system could develop early next week in the western Caribbean Sea and move northwest.
As it moves forward, there is a possibility that this system will become a tropical depression as it slowly shifts north or northwest, heading toward the southern Gulf of Mexico.
Although in the next 48 hours the probability of formation is practically nil, the forecast changes in the medium term, with a medium likelihood of 40% that it will develop in the next seven days, NOAA warned.
Recently, Cuban meteorologist Raydel Ruisanchez alerted on Facebook that there could be some type of development in this area, and he called on people to stay alert: "We still don't have anything formed, so we cannot say exactly where this will head, which is why we will be very attentive and see if it materializes."
The current hurricane season is experiencing its peak activity. According to NOAA, this could be the most active in the last 30 years, confirming that up to 13 cyclones could form.
The 2024 hurricane season, which began on June 1 and will last until November 30, is considered very active because there are favorable conditions for the development of storms, such as warmer sea temperatures and a decrease in vertical wind shear.
