Tropical Depression 25 formed in the western Caribbean Friday morning. This is an area we’ve been watching for the last several days, and is a usual hot spot for tropical development this time of the year.

As long as there isn’t too much land interaction with the Yucatan Peninsula, this should become Tropical Storm Gamma in the next day or two. There isn’t any immediate threat to the U.S. at this point. For now it’s just something to be keeping a close eye on. By early next week this will find its way into the Bay of Campeche, and at that point we should have a really good idea if/when/where there will be any Gulf Coast impacts.
