20% Chance low pressure trough in Caribbean expected to move into Gulf of becoming a tropical cyclone

A low pressure trough extending from the northwestern Caribbean Sea northeastward to southern Florida is producing widespread cloudiness, showers, and thunderstorms. Upper-level winds are marginally conducive for development, and this system has a low chance, 20 percent, of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours as it moves slowly northwestward into the southeastern Gulf of Mexico.

Putting 20% Chance in the headline though will make you…well…realize it’s not much of a story…but let’s write about it anyway…batten down the hatches…let me know when it’s been named.
