and last updated

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — We're tracking two areas in the tropics.

One east of Bermuda that has been designated as Invest 97L. This system is forecast to move NE in time and eventually become absorbed by a trough.

Another area of showers and storms in the NE Caribbean Sea could have significant impacts on our weather mainly Tuesday - Thursday.

This area will move north of Hispaniola and will be moving north into the southwestern Atlantic Ocean. A center of circulation is expected to form over or near the Southeastern Bahamas by Monday.

Computer models track this system toward South Florida by midweek but the exact strength and track is still uncertain.

Breezy showers out ahead of this system will move through this weekend before the rain chances and marine impacts increase by early next week.

While the worst of it will be around Wednesday-Thursday of next week it could be a windy, rainy election day on Tuesday.

Stay tuned for updates on this late-season tropical (or subtropical) system that could impact our weather next week.

Sunday will be similar to Saturday with a mix of sun and clouds and a few breezy showers rolling in off the ocean.

Stay away from the beaches however, the rip current risk is dangerously high along with rough surf
