TROPICS:

A tropical wave in the western Caribbean Sea off the Yucatán is expected to drift northwest toward the Bay of Campeche and could become a tropical depression or tropical storm in that region of the southwest Gulf of Mexico by Friday or Saturday. There is a 40% chance of development but no threats to Florida as the circulation would likely drift into Mexico or Texas.
