The National Hurricane Center is monitoring an area off the Florida coast for potential tropical development. This area, located in the northeastern Gulf, has a 20% chance of development over the next seven days. The highlighted area falls near North Florida.

Computer forecast models are not in agreement on the development of a system, which is reflected in the low chance of development. Further information on the tropical outlook is available from the National Hurricane Center and CBS News Miami. The European Model, which has a good track record with tropical systems, shows higher confidence in the formation of a system in the northeastern Gulf.
