Satellite images and surface observations are showing that the system has become less organized. 

But there remains a medium probability that the disturbance will become a tropical cyclone once it emerges over the Gulf of Mexico this weekend.

Meanwhile, the fifth named storm of the 2013 Hurricane Season formed today. At 9 am today, Tropical Storm Erin was located near Latitude 14.4 north, Longitude 26.5 west, and moving away from the Cape Verde Islands.
