The National Hurricane Center on Thursday increased odds that a developing system could head into the Gulf of Mexico and become a tropical depression or storm, while it also kept tabs on two systems in the Atlantic.

AccuWeather shows that there is a high risk the disturbance could target the Gulf Coast, from Louisiana to Florida, based on historical data.

The northwest Caribbean is an area to watch closely for the possible formation of a tropical storm next week. It's too early for specific details, but the U.S. Gulf Coast should watch closely to see how this forecast evolves in the coming days.
