THREE potential Tropical Storms are brewing in the Atlantic Ocean and forecasters are keeping a close watch.Â
According to the National Hurricane Center (NHC) predictions, two of the storms are in proximity of the Northern Caribbean.Firstly, they are looking at a low-pressure system located about 900 miles east of the Lesser Antilles, which continues to produce disorganized showers and a few thunderstorms. This system is moving westward at 15 to 20 mph, and it is expected to cross into the Caribbean Sea on Friday (Aug. 25).
“Upper-level winds are forecast to become a little more conducive for development during the next several days, and interests in the Lesser Antilles should monitor the progress of this system.â€However, they noted that the formation chance through 48 hours is low – 30 percent – while its chance through five days is medium to 40%.
