Live tracking map, satellite images and forecasts of Invest 98L in the Caribbean Sea. High chance of development. Current wind speed 40mph.
Caribbean Sea: A large area of showers and thunderstorms persists over the eastern Caribbean Sea to the east of a tropical wave. The system still appears to lack a closed surface circulation, but environmental conditions are soon forecast to become more conducive for development. A tropical depression or tropical storm is expected to form within the next day or two while the system slows its forward motion over the central Caribbean Sea. Regardless of development, heavy rainfall and gusty winds are possible over portions of the ABC Islands during the next couple of days.
Interests in Puerto Rico, Hispaniola, Jamaica, and Cuba should monitor the progress of this disturbance as there is a risk of heavy rain and flooding, strong winds, and rough surf later this week. For additional information on this system, including Gale Warnings, please see High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service.
