The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a system likely to develop in the southwestern Caribbean Sea in the coming days.
In the 8 a.m. tropical update, NHC said gradual development is possible toward the end of the week and through the weekend as the system begins to drift northward or northeastward over the southwestern and south-central Caribbean Sea.
NHC gives the system a 30% chance of development in the next seven days.
The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season has produced 15 named storms so far, including 10 hurricanes. Three of them hit Florida. It has now also had two potential tropical cyclones, the first of which did not develop before making landfall in September but is the reason the NHC is up to 15 in its naming scheme despite only naming 13 storms.
The hurricane season runs until November 30
