Tropical update: When could systems develop
No tropical systems are expected to develop over the next 7 days in the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, or Gulf of Mexico. Saharan dust remains thick and widespread and will limit tropical activity for the rest of July. But dust is expected to decrease in August which will likely mean more tropical systems developing. There's a very low 10% chance for a tropical system to develop in the eastern Pacific south of southern Mexico over the next week.
