FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — National Hurricane Center forecasters are watching a system near the eastern Caribbean that could form into tropical weather.
An area of low pressure is expected to form along the northern coast of South America, perhaps near Venezuela, this weekend.
Environmental conditions are forecast to be conducive for gradual development, and a tropical depression has a high chance of forming early next week as it moves slowly westward or west-northwestward over the central Caribbean Sea, the center’s latest outlook said.
