The Lone Star State is achingly close to exiting the peak window for the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, but we can't turn our backs on the tropics just yet. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is keeping tabs on the potential formation of a low pressure system in the Caribbean Sea that could have tropical implications for the Gulf of Mexico next week.

Forecasters are monitoring a new disturbance in the Caribbean that has the potential to strengthen into a tropical storm.

AccuWeather meteorologists warn that Gulf Coast residents should be keeping an eye on the system as it develops over the week.
