The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a developing weather system in the Caribbean Sea that could pose a tropical threat by the middle of next week. The Tampa Free Press reported on this system late last week.
Currently, a broad area of low pressure is expected to form over the southwestern Caribbean Sea. Forecasters predict this system has the potential to gradually develop into a more organized tropical disturbance as it drifts northeastward.
While the system currently has a low chance of development over the next few days, that probability increases to 30% over the next week.
