Two more tropical systems out in the Atlantic

After Hurricane Hanna's Texas landfall, attention turns to the Atlantic ocean where a pair of threats move toward the Caribbean.

"The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical Storm Gonzalo, located about 100 miles east of Trinidad," federal forecasters said Saturday.


It is forecast to fall apart as it moves north of Venezuela according to the Hurricane Center.

"As Gonzalo moves into the eastern Caribbean Sea... the system (will) weaken and degenerate into a trough of low pressure in a couple of days." 

Further to the east there is another area that has the potential for development.

"A tropical wave is producing an area of disorganized showers and  thunderstorms a few hundred miles southwest of Cabo Verde Islands," the National Hurricane Center  advised. "The wave is expected to move westward at about 15 mph during the next several days, and a tropical depression could form by early next week when the system reaches the western tropical Atlantic."

The system has a 60 percent chance of development.

It is way too early to know if that system will get into the Gulf of Mexico in the next couple of weeks.
