WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — The WPTV First Alert Weather team on Tuesday is watching three areas of unsettled weather for possible tropical development over the coming days.
The first has moved into the Caribbean. At this point, it has minimal chances of development in a week's time. Conditions look more favorable the farther west it moves.
We could see this wave become a tropical depression or storm in the next several days as it pushes toward the Yucatán Peninsula. It has a 30% chance of developing in the next seven days. No threat to South Florida.

There is a second system in the central Atlantic with a 10% chance of development. Slow development is possible, but conditions overall are unfavorable for this system.
The third system is off the west coast of Africa. With the other system in the Atlantic now battling for energy, it will be tough. Conditions continue to look less and less favorable for a tropical depression to develop. As always, things can change in the tropics.
The WPTV First Alert Weather team will keep you updated and keep watching the Atlantic basin. The peak of hurricane season is just days away on Sept. 10.
