The NHC has opined that this feature has a 30% chance of development by the end of the weekend. If it does it will develop near the western extent of the Carribean and into the extreme southern GOM. If development does occur there is model indication that it will move mostly northward toward the central Gulf coast. The most reliable models are not develpoing this, yet; although the most recent GFS does place a low feature in the Central Gulf coast area at the end of its run...early next week.
Too much conjecture for anything definitive, but enough chatter to merit paying attention too, IMO.
