There are some indications that the tropics may once again come alive next week in the Atlantic.

An area of low pressure in the eastern Pacific may strengthen near the coast of central America later this week.

There is warm water and generally weak winds over the eastern Pacific, both favorable conditions for strengthening and perhaps tropical development.

AccuWeather.com Expert Senior Meteorologist Dan Kottlowski said that the disturbance will track northward toward the Gulf of Tehuantepac in southern Mexico.

The disturbance will emerge into the Bay of Campeche, spanning into the northwestern Caribbean, by this weekend or early next week.

"This large area of low pressure spanning the southwest Gulf of Mexico to the northwest Caribbean will need to be monitored next week for tropical development," Kottlowski said.
