There’s a disturbance in the Caribbean Sea, another just behind it. What forecast shows
A disturbance over the Caribbean Sea and another system in the eastern Atlantic could see some development next week, forecasters say.
The National Hurricane Center, in an advisory at 2 p.m. Friday, gave both of the disturbances a low chance of formation over the next two to five days. At the moment, neither system is a threat to Florida.
The system in the Caribbean is west of the Windward Islands. It’s forecast to quickly move west during the next several days. “Environmental conditions could become more conducive for slow development of this system during the early or middle part of next week,” the hurricane center said.
Forecasters say it has a 0% chance of formation through the next 48 hours and a low 20% chance through the next five days.
The system producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms in the eastern Atlantic is expected to interact with an approaching tropical wave, forecasters said. This interaction could lead to the system seeing some gradual development sometime next week as it moves slowly west to west-northwest across the Atlantic.
It has a 10% chance of formation through the next 48 hours. The hurricane center increased its formation chances from 20% to 30% through the next five days.
