Watching Southwest Gulf For Possible System

The National Hurricane Center continues to keep a close eye on an area of disturbed weather in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico.

Whatever develops, the NHC says it's not expected to be in any hurry. "The low is expected to meander over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico before moving slowly northward to northeastward on Friday and Saturday," read a tropical weather outlook.

The system could be Wilfred, which is the final name on the 2020 list. Any subsequent storms would be named after letters of the Greek alphabet.
