A tropical system is likely in the Gulf this week despite El Niño. Here are the latest scenarios

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a disturbance in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico. A tropical depression or storm is expected to form in the Gulf around midweek, which would be notable since hurricane activity has been suppressed this season. The Gulf is prone to late-season tropical systems, and this potential storm could extend the Atlantic hurricane season despite broader conditions working against storm formation.
