A disturbance near the Pacific coast of Central America is expected to move into the Gulf of Mexico, with a 50% chance of forming into a tropical depression or storm within the next week. Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Franklin, which made landfall in the Dominican Republic, is regaining strength and is expected to reach hurricane status in the next few days. Additionally, Tropical Storm Emily's remnants are producing showers and thunderstorms east-southeast of Bermuda, with a 70% chance of regeneration.
