70% Chance of Tropical Depression Forming in Caribbean Sea this Week
As November progresses, the National Hurricane Center has issued an outlook that highlights a potential development in the Caribbean Sea. According to experts, there is a 70% chance of a tropical depression forming late this week in the southwestern Caribbean Sea. While hurricane season typically ends in November, it is not uncommon to witness tropical activity during this time.
The NHC indicates that a broad area of low pressure is expected to take shape in the southwestern Caribbean Sea within the next few days. If environmental conditions remain favorable, further development of this system is anticipated. As it moves northeastward across the western and central portions of the Caribbean Sea, it is likely to evolve into a tropical depression. This situation calls for the attention of residents in Jamaica, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic who are advised to monitor the progress of this system closely.
Even though the formation chance through the next 48 hours remains low at near 0%, the probability of formation over the next seven days is high at 70%. This indicates that there is a strong possibility of significant weather patterns occurring in the region. Regardless of whether it develops into a tropical depression or not, it has the potential to bring heavy rains to portions of the Central American Caribbean coast and the Greater Antilles towards the latter part of the week.
Forecasters at the NHC emphasize the need for readiness and preparedness among residents in the potentially affected areas. It is crucial to closely monitor updates from the National Hurricane Center and adhere to any instructions or warnings issued by local authorities. While it is impossible to predict the exact course and intensity of this system at this stage, taking precautionary measures can go a long way in ensuring the safety and well-being of individuals residing in vulnerable regions.
As the situation evolves, the NHC and other relevant authorities will continue to monitor and provide updates on the potential development of this system. Stay tuned for further announcements and remain vigilant amidst the possibility of a tropical depression in the Caribbean Sea this week.
