Meteorologist Kassandra Crimi said there are two areas of interest to keep monitoring.

It’s quiet now, but just off the Florida east coast is an area of low pressure that is expected to develop next week.

There is a low chance of seeing this evolve into a tropical system. Regardless of the development, we can expect to see deteriorating coastal conditions by the end of the week.

This means rough surf and building swells on the coast.

It will also turn breezy and wet by the end of the week.

In the southwest Gulf of Mexico, there is some disturbed weather over the Yucatan Peninsula. This is expected to evolve into a broad low early next week as it moves into the Gulf.
