Forecasters warn another tropical storm could form by midweek if a tropical depression in the western Atlantic continues to develop.
The depression is one of two systems that have been flagged by forecasters, neither of which pose any immediate threat to the Cayman Islands.
In its 8am weather bulletin, the US-based National Hurricane Center stated that the new storm had a 30% chance of development over the next two days and a 40% chance in the next five days.
“Showers and thunderstorms associated with a tropical wave located several hundred miles east of the southern Windward Islands have become slightly better organised since yesterday,” according to the weather bulletin. “Some further development of the wave is possible and a tropical depression could form within the next few days while it moves generally westward at 15 to 20 mph.”
If the tropical wave does continue to travel in a westerly direction, forecasters expect it to arrive in the central Caribbean Sea by Friday.
Further east, near the Cabo Verde Islands, a stronger, more elongated, area of low pressure continues to grow, and forecasters warn it is likely to meet more favourable conditions to develop.
“Some further development of the wave is possible and a tropical depression could form within the next few days,” the NHC said, giving the system a low and medium chance of development in the next two and five days, respectively.
