newsweek.com

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a low-pressure area in the Pacific, about 1,000 miles southwest of Mexico. It has a 60 percent chance of developing into a tropical cyclone within the next week. This potential storm follows Hurricane Kristy, which recently reached Category 5 strength but has since weakened and is no longer classified as a tropical cyclone. Kristy is expected to dissipate completely soon. Additionally, another low-pressure system may form in the Caribbean, with a 40 percent chance of becoming a tropical cyclone in the coming days. This system could develop into Tropical Storm Patty if it strengthens.
