TROPICS

We are watching four disturbances in the Atlantic. Three of them have a 20% chance of development. An area of low pressure over eastern portions of the Caribbean is producing little showers and thunderstorm activity, but environmental conditions are favorable for slow development. This area still has 20% chance of development within the next 5 days. An area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms associated with a broad area of low pressure in the Eastern Atlantic has a 70% chance of development within the next 5 days. Environmental conditions are favorable for slow development midweek. Depend on Us, the FOX 35 Storm Team for the latest!
