Oct 5 (Reuters) – A trough of low pressure ​in the ‌southwestern Gulf of America is producing disorganized showers and ‌thunderstorms ​and ⁠has a 30% ⁠chance of developing into a cyclone within the ​next 48 hours, the ⁠US National ⁠Hurricane Center ​said on Monday.

“Although ​environmental conditions appear to ‌be marginally conducive, gradual development is becoming ⁠more likely, and a tropical depression is ⁠likely ‌to form ⁠during the ​middle ‌or latter portion ​of ⁠the week,” the NHC added.
