WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — The WPTV First Alert Weather team on Tuesday is monitoring two areas of unsettled weather for possible tropical development.

First, a disturbance known as Invest 94L in the central tropical Atlantic will arrive in the eastern Caribbean by late this week.

This area may get better organized, but that window of organization is short. A cold front that passes through South Florida is forecast to remain over the Gulf Stream and Cuba, and this could help keep the disturbance away from Florida.

"The front that's coming here tomorrow could basically keep it away from going into Florida," WPTV First Alert Weather meteorologist Jennifer Correa said.

The Caribbean should continue to monitor its progress.

Meanwhile, a disturbance in the western Caribbean Sea has a small chance for development and will impact Central America during the next few days.

"It is still going to bring pretty nasty weather eventually later on this week through Nicaragua, Honduras. And then out into the Pacific eventually where, once it gets into the Pacific, could actually form," Correa said.

The Atlantic hurricane season officially ends on Nov. 30.
