Tropical Update
We are watching an area of showers and thunderstorms from the eastern Caribbean Sea to just north of the Leeward Islands. This disturbance is expected to move WNW to NW across the north-central Caribbean Sea during the next few days, producing locally heavy rainfall and possibly some flooding across portions of the Lesser Antilles, Puerto Rico, and Hispaniola. Little development is likely during this time as upper-level winds are forecast to become less conducive. The system is forecast to move near or over the Straits of Florida and the Bahamas by the end of the week, where environmental conditions could be a little more conducive for development.
* Formation chance through 48 hours: Low (10%)
* Formation chance through 5 days: Low (20%)
