Hurricane forecasters watching the Caribbean
The Atlantic hurricane season isn’t over yet.
The National Hurricane Center on Friday was watching two areas for potential development, and one was in the southern Caribbean.
The other is the former Hurricane Tammy. Tammy brought wind and rain to the Leeward Islands earlier this week and then transitioned to a non-tropical system as it moved north of the islands.
However the hurricane center said Tammy may find new life as a tropical system and could bring wind and rain to Bermuda in the next few days.
The former Tammy was located a few hundred miles east of Bermuda on Friday morning and could become a tropical storm later today or Saturday.
The hurricane center said those on Bermuda should keep a close eye on the system.
Of more interest to those in the U.S. is a tropical disturbance that is expected to develop in the southern Caribbean in the next few days.
The hurricane center said an area of low pressure could develop just north of South America. It has the potential to slowly develop next week.
Forecasters expect it to track to the north, which could affect Jamaica and Cuba.
It’s too soon to say if it could affect the U.S.
The disturbance has a 30 percent chance of becoming a tropical depression in the next seven days.
The Atlantic hurricane season still has about a month to go — the last official day will be Nov. 30.
