The National Hurricane Center on Friday was tracking five disturbances in the Atlantic, including Tropical Depression Omar.
Tropical Storm Nana, once a hurricane, dissipated Thursday night near the border of Guatemala and Mexico, forecasters said. It made landfall in Belize early Thursday.
Omar does not pose a threat to Louisiana, but it's too early to tell if the other disturbances could reach the Gulf of Mexico.
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. Friday from the National Hurricane Center.

A non-tropical area of low pressure is over the north Atlantic about 500 miles southeast of Cape Race, Newfoundland. This low is expected to move northeast near 15 mph, and some slight subtropical or tropical development of this system is possible before it reaches cooler waters Friday night, forecasters said.
It has a 20% chance (low) of developing into a tropical depression within 48 hours.
