The NHC is also tracking two other systems with a chance to develop into a tropical depression or storm.

On the heels of Beryl in the eastern tropical Atlantic is an area of low pressure several hundred miles southwest of the Cape Verde Islands with disorganized showers and thunderstorms.

“Environmental conditions appear conducive for additional development of this system, and a tropical depression could form by the middle of next week while it moves generally westward at 15 to 20 mph across the eastern and central tropical Atlantic,” forecasters say.

The NHC gives it a 30% chance to develop in the next two days, and 70% in the next seven.

Meanwhile, a broad area of low pressure is expected to form over the Bay of Campeche by early Sunday from the remnants of a tropical wave that moved across the Caribbean.

“A tropical depression could form before the system moves inland again early next week over Mexico. Interests along the Gulf coast of Mexico should monitor the progress of this system,” forecasters said.

It’s expected to drop heavy rain on portions of Central America and Mexico through early next week.

The NHC gives it a 50% chance to develop in the next two to seven days.

The Atlantic hurricane season began on June 1, but its first named storm, Tropical Storm Alberto, did not develop until June 19. Forecasters with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predict 2024 to be an above average year with 17 to 25 named storms possible.

The height of hurricane season traditionally comes from mid-August into October. The season ends on Nov. 30.
