A tropical depression is expected to develop in the Atlantic over the next day or two.
MACON, Ga. — The National Hurricane Center has outlined a high risk of tropical development over the next 5 days, just outside of the Caribbean Sea.
Satellite data showed this morning showed that the storm has become better organized as a closed low pressure tries to form. The storm already has winds of 35 mph as it moves west at just over 20 mph.
Wind and rain could begin to impact the Lesser Antilles as soon as Wednesday.
This system bears watching as major global models continue to develop the system over the next few days, with a few runs trying to pull this system into the Gulf of Mexico.
This storm is one of three in the Atlantic that are highlighted on the map at the moment.
Hurricane Fiona continues to churn away just outside of the Turks and Caicos as a category 3 hurricane. It is going to continue to move to the north-northwest at 9 mph as it is expected to continue strengthening.
Fiona should pass to the west of Bermuda as a major hurricane.
Elsewhere in the Atlantic, Tropical Depression Eight formed at 11 a.m. with winds of 35 mph. It will meander around in the northern Atlantic and not pose a threat to the United States.
