The National Hurricane Center on Thursday increased odds that a developing system could head into the Gulf of Mexico and become a tropical depression or storm — while it also kept tabs on two systems in the Atlantic.

We are continuing to watch an area of low pressure that will try to develop this weekend or early next week in the northwest Caribbean. The National Hurricane Center says some slow development of this system is possible over the western and northwestern Caribbean Sea.

The next tropical storm could come from a slow-spinning system in the northern Caribbean, according to the National Hurricane Center.
