MIAMI — A disturbance just off the coast of Venezuela could turn into a tropical depression this week as it moves through the Caribbean Sea toward Central America.
And, its development chance keeps getting higher. The National Hurricane Center on Thursday upped the system’s formation chances from 70% to 80% for the next 48 hours. It has a 90% chance of formation through the next five days.
The system, described as a broad and elongated area of low pressure, is dousing the southern Windward Islands and northern South America with rain and thunderstorms Thursday morning, according to the hurricane center.
