NOAA Monitors Potential Tropical Development in the Caribbean

As of the latest updates from the National Hurricane Center (NHC), an area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms has been identified in the central Caribbean Sea, south of Hispaniola. This system is associated with a tropical wave and is expected to move slowly westward over the next few days.

Environmental conditions appear conducive for gradual development of this system, with the NHC forecasting a medium chance of 50% for tropical depression formation within the next 7 days. However, the formation chance through the next 48 hours remains low at 10%.

The NHC is closely monitoring this system and will provide updates as necessary. Residents and travelers in the Caribbean region are advised to stay informed about the latest weather conditions and any potential advisories or warnings that may be issued.

In addition to this potential development, the NHC is also tracking other weather systems, including a cold front moving across the western Atlantic Ocean, which is expected to bring strong to near gale-force winds and rough seas to certain areas.
