TAMPA, Fla. — Two tropical disturbances are brewing in the Atlantic, and one is forecasted to make its way into the Caribbean this week.
The tropical disturbances come less than a week after Hurricane Ian ravaged the southwest coast of Florida. The storm has killed at least 42 people in Lee County, where the worst of Ian made landfall, according to officials. The Tampa Bay area was largely spared, though about 13,000 people remained without power on Sunday.
A tropical wave several hundred miles east of the south Windward Islands was producing showers and thunderstorms on Monday morning, according to the National Hurricane Center. The disturbance has become slightly better organized since Sunday and forecasters say the system could develop further.
