The National Hurricane Center has given a system headed to the Caribbean a 100% of forming into tropical depression or storm with advisories expected later today.
In its 8 a.m. tropical outlook, the NHC said satellite imagery shows the area of low pressure halfway between Africa and the Lesser Anilles has become more organized since Sunday.
“If current trends continue, advisories could be initiated on a tropical depression later today,” the NHC stated. “This system is forecast to move generally westward at 15 to 20 mph with further development across the central tropical Atlantic through the middle part of this week.”
