The National Hurricane Center is monitoring two areas of potential tropical growth, although neither poses a threat to us in Florida.
The first space to watch is in the western Caribbean Sea. As of Wednesday night, the National Hurricane Center says growth odds are at 0% over the subsequent two days however 40% over the subsequent 5. That’s a rise of 20% in contrast to this time yesterday.
At this time, there continues to be no cause to imagine this function could be a direct threat to Florida. The more than likely motion of this function could be westward throughout the Caribbean Sea.
The second space to watch is in the Atlantic Ocean east of the Bahamas. Movement of this function is towards the north-northeast, so regardless of its proximity to our state, it is not going to affect Florida.
For now, growth odds have been pegged at 40% in the subsequent two days and 50% in the subsequent 5.
If both of those options reaches tropical storm power, the subsequent identify on this 12 months’s tropical storm and hurricane naming checklist is Lisa.
