Hurricane season started less than two weeks ago, and there is already something that catches the attention of the National Hurricane Center.


An area of ​​low pressure in the Gulf of Mexico, which is currently disorganized, should be especially watched along the Gulf Coast until the end of next week.

"There may be slow development of this system as it moves northwest and north," said the National Hurricane Center (NHC).

This zone has a 20% chance of development over the next 5 days.

Right now, there is only a 20% chance that it will become a system over the next 5 days, according to the NHC, and a 30% chance of development over the next 7 days according to other meteorologists.

European and US forecasting computer models indicate that this potential storm is developing very slowly.
