After several days with no tropical activity, the National Hurricane Center is now watching four areas of the Atlantic basin.
Tropical Storm Gamma formed Friday in the northwestern Caribbean. The 25th named storm is forecast to move over the Yucatan and into the Bay of Campeche in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico over the next few days.
On its heels is a tropical wave moving northwest in the Caribbean Sea.
"Environmental conditions are expected to become more conducive for development, and a tropical depression could form next week," said National Hurricane Center Hurricane Specialist Robbie Berg.
The wave has a 60 percent chance of tropical cyclone development over the next five days.
Out over the central Atlantic ocean, a pair of waves have a 10 to 20 percent chance of development as the one to the north moves west-southwest, and the one farther south moves west-northwest.
