Texas Does not Need This

First off, our two Atlantic systems didn't do anything. And the one near bermuda didn't spin up fast enough before it was absorbed by the larger low, so nothing with them.

Texas, however, has had some serious floodly lately, and the last thing they need is a tropical system.

Yet, the Central Western Gulf of Mexico has a broad area of low pressure that has the potential to form into a depression
As for the Bermuda System. The National Hurricane Center has been mentioningi it in the outlook. It's not all that well developed at present, so if it does form it'll take a day or two. Even if it does not, Texas will need to watch it because of even more rain possible from it.

What's my opinion on the chances of it forming?

We'll be watching. Water temps are good enough to support something, it's being watched by the Navy, and the next day or two will tell this one's tale.

Elsewhere there are some clouds southeast of Florida, but nothing I see happening quite yet. It could change though, watch this one too.
