The National Hurricane Center said Wednesday that a broad area of low pressure in the central Caribbean Sea continues to produce a large area of showers and thunderstorms.

WESTERN CARIBBEANA broad area of low pressure is expected to form in the western Caribbean Sea over the next several days. Disorganized storms could become better organized in a tropical environment that is likely to support gradual development.

The NHC said Tuesday it is tracking a tropical wave in the Caribbean Sea that could become a tropical depression by the end of the week.

Even so, the threat of a strong tropical storm this time of year is a rare and gloomy event for Florida residents as the peak of hurricane season runs from early August through mid-September. The season ends Nov. 30.

It looks like another tropical depression could form in the western Caribbean Sea in a few days. The National Hurricane Center has raised the chances to high — 80 percent — that a tropical depression will form by the end of the week.
