The National Hurricane Center on Monday morning was tracking four disturbances in the Atlantic and the Caribbean. Two of them are expected to develop into tropical depressions this week, forecasters said.

It's too early to tell if any of the disturbances could reach the Gulf of Mexico and be a threat to Louisiana.

The shaded area on the graphic is where a storm could develop and is not a track. The National Hurricane Center releases a track when a system develops or is about to develop into a tropical depression.

Here's what to know about the tropics as of 7 a.m. Monday from the National Hurricane Center.
