** Editor's Note: Yeah, yeah, we're not updating this anymore. It's Wednesday's problem now. **

๐ŸŒŠ In true millennial fashion, a tropical wave that emerged near the Windward Islands last weekend is taking its sweet time to decide what it wants to be when it grows up. According to the latest National Hurricane Advisory-ish thing, it's just chilling, producing showers and thunderstorms like it's not even a big deal.

๐ŸŒฎ As of Tuesday morning, this meteorological rebel without a cause was sauntering towards Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, like a spring breaker who can't quite find their hotel. Remember Hurricane Beryl? Yeah, that happened last month. This kid is just trailing behind like a little sibling.

"Any development of this system should be slow AF over the next couple of days while it moseys westward over the central Caribbean Sea," the advisory says, clearly exhausted by this storm's lack of ambition. "Environmental conditions are expected to get their act together and become more supportive later this week as the system cruises across the western Caribbean Sea or the southern Gulf of Mexico."

Will it? Won't it? Nobody knows! The suspense is killing us.

Formation chance through 48 hours: Low AF, 10 percent
Formation chance through 7 days: Still pretty low, 30 percent
