A weather disturbance moving over the west-central Caribbean Sea has increased to a 70% chance of forming into a tropical depression over the weekend, the National Hurricane Center said Wednesday night.
Analysts were also monitoring another system, a few hundred miles east of the Lesser Antilles, that could see development in the Caribbean early next week.
