A soon-to-be tropical disturbance in the southwestern Atlantic could bring some messy weather to parts of Florida next week.

The National Hurricane Center said the disturbance could become a tropical or subtropical depression early next week and move in the direction of the eastern Florida peninsula.

It’s not a disturbance just yet. The hurricane center said a large non-tropical low is expected to develop over the next day or two that will span the northeastern Caribbean and southwestern Atlantic.

Forecasters said it could slowly acquire tropical or subtropical features over the weekend.

The disturbance is expected to track to the west or northwest toward Florida.

A system has to have a defined center and winds of at least 39 mph to be considered a tropical storm and get a name. The next name on the 2022 storm list is Nicole.

Rain chances are expected to begin to increase in southeastern Florida late Saturday, with better rain chances during the first part of next week, according to the weather service.

The National Weather Service was also watching the tropics and said that hazardous boating conditions will be possible along the eastern Florida coast over the weekend. There will also be a risk of deadly rip currents along the beaches.

It could also be breezy early next week, and there will be a risk of coastal flooding. That could last through midweek, according the weather service.

The hurricane center was also tracking Tropical Depression Lisa, which has moved into the southern Gulf of Mexico after making landfall in Belize on Wednesday.

Lisa could briefly strengthen over the Bay of Campeche but ultimately will weaken because of unfavorable conditions in the area, according to the hurricane center.

It is not expected to affect the U.S.

The third area being monitored was in central Atlantic, several hundred miles east-southeast of Bermuda.

The hurricane center said any development of that system would be slow. It is forecast to stay put today but then turn to the west this weekend.

It will run into another system over the weekend and is not expected to develop further.

The Atlantic hurricane season is heading toward its finale. The last day of the season will be Nov. 30.
