Potential Tropical Cyclone Six is approximately 250 miles southeast of Puerto Rico or 1,250 miles southeast of Miami, Florida. The system will continue to gradually organize overnight interaction, increasing wind shear, and some dry air will work together to weaken the system. It may move into the eastern Gulf of Mexico this weekend and will need to continue to be monitored. It is too early to determine any other impacts to the state.
