TRACKING THE TROPICS
- A broad low-pressure system, also identified as “AL97,″ is located over the southwestern Caribbean Sea. Though it is disorganized with rain and thunderstorms, there is a high chance that the system will continue to develop into a tropical depression. Several shifts in direction will occur, making it highly inconclusive where the potential storm is heading. Heavy downpours are possible for the western Caribbean, including Jamaica, Hispaniola, and Cuba. An Air Force Hurricane Hunter aircraft is scheduled to investigate this system on Sunday.
Formation chance through 48 hours is 70%. Formation chance through 7 days is 80%.
2. A trough of low pressure is developing near the Greater Antilles just north of Puerto Rico and Hispaniola. Right now there are disorganized storms and thunderstorms. This system is expected to be “absorbed” by a low-pressure area over the Caribbean Sea. Heavy rains are possible during the next couple of days across the northern Leeward Islands, Puerto Rico, Hispaniola, eastern Cuba, and the southeastern Bahamas.
Formation chance through 48 hours is 10 percent. Formation chance through 7 days is 10 percent.
