ORLANDO, Fla. — A small area of low pressure developed Tuesday afternoon alongside a series of disorganized showers in the Caribbean that could become the second named storm the 2022 hurricane season.
Satellite images confirmed the presence of an area of low pressure in southwestern Caribbean Sea, according to the National Hurricane Center’s 2 p.m. EDT Tuesday update. The disturbance has a 30% chance of developing into a tropical depression or storm in the next two days and a 40% chance in the next five days.
The disturbance, which was first identified Sunday evening, is forecast to slowly develop this week if it remains over water, the NHC said. It is also expected to drift near the coasts of Nicaragua and Honduras and move northwest.
