The NBC2 First Alert Hurricane Tracking team is still tracking two features in the Atlantic basin for possible tropical development, though neither will pose any threat to Florida.
Feature One: Invest 94L
The first feature being watched for tropical development is Invest 94-L, a tropical disturbance approaching the Leeward Islands.
The good news is the odds of development continue to drop, and the National Hurricane Center gives the disturbance a 30% chance to develop in the next 7 days.
It is important to stress that even if a tropical system develops, it would not pose a threat to Florida. This is thanks to the steering currents over Florida as a cold front and area of high pressure would keep any tropical system well south of our area.
Should things change, we'll keep you informed on NBC2 News.
Feature Two: Western Caribbean
A cluster of showers and thunderstorms in the western Caribbean Sea is also being marked with the potential of tropical development within the next week.
As of 8 a.m. Thursday, the National Hurricane Center says the area highlighted in yellow has a 20% chance of becoming at least a tropical depression within the next week.
The Western Caribbean is often a tropical weather hot spot in the month of October.
It is too early to determine where anything that may develop in the western Caribbean may track over time. But the majority of forecast model data shows anything spinning up here more than likely moving toward Central America.
If either system becomes a Tropical Storm, Nadine is the next one on the list.
We'll be sure to keep you updated on the evolution of disturbed weather on NBC2 News.
