Hurricane forecasters now watching 2 weather systems in the tropics


Hot on the heels of hurricanes Helene and Milton, forecasters on Tuesday were watching two other weather systems for possible tropical development.

Neither pose an imminent threat to Florida, though forecasters suggested people pay attention to updates over the next several days.

One was a well-defined area of low pressure that was in the central tropical Atlantic.

The system was moving through an unfavorable environment but was expected to head west, where conditions could become more favorable for development, according to the National Hurricane Center.

It has a 60% chance of forming over the next week and a 30% chance over the next two days, forecasters said.

It's still hurricane roulette season.

Called for the biggest one to head south towards Central America with the DR, Haiti and,Jamaica in its path. Not great for these poor areas.
