WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Conditions in the Caribbean will be favorable for tropical development over the next two weeks as we head into the final official month of the hurricane season.

The National Hurricane Center on Wednesday gave an average chance of something forming over the next seven days. WPTV First Alert meteorologist James Wieland said it’s still too early to tell if there will be any impact on Florida, other than the continuation of the winds we currently have.

“The Caribbean Sea area, that area right now, there is nothing. But maybe in the next two days or three days or so, there will be an area of ​​low pressure that will develop in the southwestern Caribbean Sea. It’s slowly moving toward the Greater Antilles,” said WPTV First Alert meteorologist Jennifer Correa.

Wieland added that the latest models have retreated a bit, just creating a few weak systems that remain well to our south.

The U.S. GFS model, for example, shows a weak circulation that would move into the Greater Antilles by early next week without approaching Florida, Correa said.

“This is good news. Of course, we will have to look at it. Certainly, for the islands, they should keep a close watch,” Correa said.

The Atlantic hurricane season continues through November 30.
