Update:

Nothing is well organized now, but 30% low in Atlantic (Invest 99) shows signs of developing in a few days moving away.

Chief meteorologist Tom Terry said the low in the Gulf (Invest 90) isn’t well organized but continues to add moisture into the Gulf along a weak front.

Elsewhere, the wave NE of the Caribbean may approach the Bahamas early next week.

Original story:

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring five disturbances that are slowly moving through the Atlantic, Caribbean, and Gulf of Mexico.

None of the areas have a high chance of development due to dry air in the mix.
