Tropical Weather Outlook: Potential System in Caribbean Sea

The National Hurricane Center reports that a tropical wave currently situated over the east-central Caribbean Sea is showing minimal changes this morning. The system is expected to progress westward across the central Caribbean Sea, with slow development anticipated over the next couple of days. Conditions for strengthening could become more favourable later in the week as the system approaches the western Caribbean Sea or southern Gulf of Mexico.

Currently, the likelihood of formation within the next 48 hours remains low at 10 percent. Over the next seven days, the chance increases slightly to 30 percent. The situation will continue to be monitored closely.
