The National Hurricane Center is also monitoring two other areas for possible development.
The first is a tropical wave over the western Caribbean that is forecast to emerge over the southern Bay of Campeche on Saturday. Environmental conditions are expected to be conducive to support some gradual development of the system before it moves into mainland Mexico early next week.
Formation chance through 48 hours is low near 10 percent.
Formation chance through 5 days is low at 30 percent.
The second is a strong tropical wave that is expected to emerge off of the west coast of Africa on Saturday. Environmental conditions are forecast to be conducive for development thereafter, and a tropical depression could form by early next week as it moves west-northwestward over the far eastern Atlantic near the Cabo Verde Islands.
Formation chance through 48 hours is low near 10 percent.
Formation chance through 5 days is medium at 60 percent.
