Tropical Wave in the Caribbean Could Develop into a Storm

The National Hurricane Centre (NHC) is closely monitoring an area of disorganised showers and thunderstorms in the central Caribbean Sea, south of Hispaniola. The system is expected to move slowly westward over the next few days. 

The NHC reported that “environmental conditions appear conducive for gradual development,” giving the system 50% chance of development in the next seven days.

Forecasters say it could form later this week or over the weekend. If it strengthens, it could become Tropical Storm Sara.
