ORLANDO, Fla. — The National Hurricane Center continues to track one system in the Atlantic and one in the Caribbean with potential to form into the season’s next tropical or subtropical depression as they mix with surrounding weather systems.
The chances of a Caribbean formation comes from what’s expected to be a combination of an existing deep-layer trough that’s been stationary from eastern Hispaniola to the central Caribbean in the last day along with a tropical wave moving west across the eastern Caribbean.
The trough already features active thunderstorms and when combined with the wave, it could expand its intensity affecting Puerto Rico, the U.S. and British Virgin Islands and the Dominican Republic through Friday, forecasters said.
