WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — There is an area highlighted by the National Hurricane Center in the central Caribbean that has a medium chance to develop.
Some models develop a broad low and pull it north out of the Caribbean by next week.

The NHC said Monday a "tropical depression could form late this week or over the weekend while the system begins to drift northward or northeastward into the southwestern or south-central Caribbean Sea."
"By the end of the week, could become a tropical depression. But could get better organized, and maybe could happen rapidly, too. Basically from the end of this week through early next week," WPTV First Alert Weather meteorologist Jennifer Correa said.
It's far too early to determine whether anything that evolves would affect us here in Florida. However, it will be worth keeping an eye on over the next week or so.
Correa said the Greater Antilles, Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola, the Bahamas, and the Turks and Caicos need to keep an especially watchful eye on this area.
The Atlantic hurricane season official ends on Nov. 30.
