JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — For the latest on all tropical developments we're currently monitoring, click here.
Tropical Depression Seven formed in the Atlantic Ocean Wednesday.
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is now tracking Tropical Depression Seven deep in the Atlantic, still very close to the coast of Africa.
The NHC's forecast suggests that the tropical depression could become Tropical Storm Gordon by this weekend. The current forecast cone has the storm still hundreds of miles from the Caribbean Sea by next workweek, and long range models show this storm making a hard turn to the north by the end of next week.
Of course, confidence in computer model outputs dwindle when you get toward the end of the forecast period, so we'll continue to track this system. However, there will be no direct local impacts from the tropics over the next seven days.
