By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: Weather experts at the National Hurricane Center (NHC) are closely monitoring a broad trough of low pressure.

This system is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms from the southwestern Caribbean Sea into the southern Gulf of Mexico.

While environmental conditions may allow for gradual development, the likelihood of this system forming into a tropical depression in the next 48 hours remains low at nearly 0%.

However, there is a medium chance of development, estimated at 40%, as the disturbance moves further into the Gulf by the weekend.

In the Eastern Tropical Atlantic, a low-pressure area located south-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands is showing increasing organization in its associated showers and thunderstorms.

Conditions are favorable for further development, and a tropical depression is likely to form within the next day or two as the system progresses slowly westward.

The formation chance for this system is high, standing at 90% over the next 48 hours and continuing at 90% over the next week.
