The National Hurricane Center has been jumping around the last few days tracking short-lived systems with the potential to form into a tropical depression or storm. Late Monday, the NHC began looking at the Caribbean Sea.
As of the NHC’s 8 p.m. Eastern time tropical update, a tropical wave located in the central Caribbean is forecast to move across Central America and emerge over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico where it could develop into the season’s next named system. The NHC gives the system a 20% chance of formation in the next five days.

Michael Burry, the investor of "The Big Short" fame, slashed his US stock portfolio to a single holding in the second quarter, a Securities and Exchange Commission filing showed on Monday.
Burry's Scion Asset Management disclosed just over 500,000 shares of Geo Group, worth $3.3 million. Geo invests in private prisons and mental-health facilities and commands a market capitalization of less than $900 million.
Close followers of Burry are likely to interpret his decision to effectively liquidate his portfolio as a bad omen. The hedge-fund manager diagnosed the "greatest speculative bubble of all time in all things" last summer and said owners of meme stocks and cryptocurrencies were careening toward the "mother of all crashes."
