Tropical Depression Likely to Develop in Caribbean by Week’s End

The National Hurricane Center reports that a tropical wave in the central Caribbean Sea is generating disorganised showers and thunderstorms, with environmental conditions favourable for development. Forecasters anticipate that this system could strengthen into a tropical depression by the end of the week as it gradually moves westward into the western Caribbean.

After reaching the western Caribbean, the disturbance is expected to slow down and linger over the area throughout the weekend before shifting northwestward early next week. Residents in the western Caribbean are advised to keep an eye on the system’s progress.

Chance of formation within 48 hours: 40%
Chance of formation within 7 days: 80%

If it strengthens, it could become Tropical Storm Sara.
