Tropical disturbance could become a depression over the weekend.
There are four areas to watch in the tropical Atlantic Ocean on Friday, but of most concern to those in the U.S. is a disturbance that's expected to move into the Gulf of Mexico this weekend. It could become a tropical depression in the next few days as it heads northward in the Gulf. None of the other systems is an immediate threat to the U.S.A tropical depression could form in the Gulf of Mexico this weekend, according to forecasters.
The hurricane center said that as of Friday afternoon it was looking more organized than it had this morning and raised the probability of a depression forming from 70 percent to 80 percent. The National Weather Service in Mobile continued to watch the Gulf and said Friday morning that most of the computer forecast models shift the system east of Alabama for now. However, forecasters added that trends will continue to be watched very carefully over the next few days.
