FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — A tropical depression is likely to form over the eastern Caribbean, and it could develop as soon as this weekend, the National Hurricane Center said.
The broad area of low pressure is bringing disorganized showers and thunderstorms to the far eastern Caribbean, stretching west-northwestward for several hundred miles, the center’s 2 p.m. Saturday outlook said.
Conditions are favorable for it to develop over the next few days, and forecasters expect it to form into a tropical depression this weekend or early next week, the outlook said. It will travel west or west-northwest over the central Caribbean.
