NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — We will continue to watch the Caribbean and the Gulf through the first week of October. The NHC is once again highlighting these areas with a 40% chance of tropical development over the next 7 days. Right now it looks like just a broad circulation may develop by the end of the week or the weekend. We could see something form from that after that point, but with a cold front moving in early next week it would likely stay to our south and east. Either way no concern at the moment. There are still several areas where this could form, with recent models coming in to a bit better agreement on something that develops in the southwestern Gulf and then moves east towards the Florida peninsula. It's still too early to tell though what will happen through early next week so as always stay prepared and continue to stay with WGNO for the latest.
