A tropical disturbance has nearly a 100 percent chance of forming into a depression in or near the Gulf of Mexico in the next 48 hours, according to the National Hurricane Center's update at 1 p.m. Saturday.
It increased odds from 90 percent at its 7 a.m. Saturday update.
It's too early to tell if the system would impact Louisiana.
The NHC said the broad area of low pressure is located just southwest of Grand Cayman Island and is gradually becoming better organized.
Environmental conditions are conducive for further development as the system shifts north and northwest, NHC said.
The system is expected to impact Cuba and move slowly across the southeastern Gulf by Tuesday.
If it became a named system, it would be called Zeta.
NHC is also tracking Hurricane Epsilon in the Atlantic, which is not forecast to come near the Gulf or impact Louisiana.
