Forecasters on Tuesday morning were tracking disturbances in open Atlantic Ocean waters and the Caribbean Sea.
Where are these systems heading?
Here’s the 1 a.m. advisory from the National Hurricane Center.
Where is the disturbance in the Caribbean?
Nearby dry air is forecast to prevent the development of a low pressure’s disorganized showers and thunderstorms over the central Caribbean Sea as it drifts slowly to the west during the next couple of days.
▪ Formation chance through 48 hours: 10%.

Where is the system in the Atlantic?
A low pressure is expected to develop along a front over the central Atlantic later on Tuesday. It’s forecast to move southeast across the central subtropical Atlantic over warmer sea surface temperatures during the next few days.
“Environmental conditions appear conducive for this system to gradually acquire tropical characteristics,” the hurricane center said. “A subtropical or tropical storm could form by the latter part of this week, as the system continues moving westward followed by a turn northeastward by the weekend.”
▪ Formation chance through 48 hours: 10%.
▪ Formation chance through seven days: 50%.
Are the disturbances a threat to Florida?
These systems aren’t expected to affect the Sunshine State.
