By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: Weather experts at the National Hurricane Center (NHC) are closely monitoring 4 tropical disturbances in the Atlantic.

AL90 is a low pressure system and weak frontal boundary over the northwestern Gulf of Mexico that remains disorganized.

Upper-level winds are expected to remain unfavorable for significant development of this system while it meanders over the northwestern Gulf and eventually merges with another approaching frontal system later today or on Saturday.

Although tropical cyclone development is unlikely, heavy rainfall is expected to continue across portions of the northern Gulf Coast during the next day or so.

This system has a 10% chance of formation through the next 7 days.

AL99 is a low pressure system located several hundred miles east of the U.S. Mid-Atlantic coast that is producing a large area of showers and thunderstorms that are increasingly taking on a non-tropical structure.

The low is forecast to move north-northeastward at 15 to 20 mph offshore the northeastern United States, reaching colder waters by this evening and overnight, and its opportunity to acquire subtropical characteristics appears to be decreasing.

This system has a 20% chance of formation through the next 7 days.

In the Northwestern Caribbean Sea and Southwestern Gulf of Mexico, a tropical wave located near the coast of Belize and the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico continues to produce disorganized showers and thunderstorms.

The wave is forecast to move across Central America and southeastern Mexico today and tonight, and some slow development is possible over the weekend after the system emerges over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico.

This system has a 20% chance of formation through the next 7 days.

An elongated trough of low pressure over the eastern tropical Atlantic is producing minimal shower and thunderstorm activity.

Development, if any, should be slow to occur while the disturbance meanders through the early part of next week and then begins to move west-northwestward across the central tropical Atlantic during the middle to latter part of next week.

This system has a 10% chance of formation through the next 7 days.
