Caribbean system still brewing with tropical potential, hurricane center says

The National Hurricane Center continues to keep track Wednesday of a system that could develop in the Caribbean and become the season’s next tropical depression or storm.

As of the hurricane center’s 8 a.m. tropical outlook, it said a broad area of low pressure is likely to develop over the southwestern Caribbean Sea in the next couple of days.

“Gradual development is possible thereafter, and a tropical depression could form over the weekend or early next week while the system drifts generally northward over the central or western Caribbean Sea,” forecasters said.

The center gives it a 40% chance to develop in the next seven days, the same percentage forecast on Monday and Tuesday, but up from the weekend.
