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

First, Invest 94L is located in the middle of the Atlantic, a few a few hundred miles west of the Cabo Verde Islands, with limited showers and storms. It has a 60% chance of development over the next seven days.

It will move into a more favorable area for development once it gets closer to the Caribbean at the end of the week.

Right now, models are showing some strengthening before weakening and dying out near the Dominican Republic. It looks like we will have big high pressure along the east coast over the weekend, serving as a blocker to keep the future storm either weak or away from us.

But we will keep an eye on it as it's still a ways out and things can change.

Also, there's an area of disturbed weather in the central Caribbean that could develop this week.

Models are showing something spinning up at the end of the week.

Because of the front coming Wednesday and high pressure building in behind it, this one should also stay to our south, possibly impacting Nicaragua and Honduras.

The Atlantic hurricane season officially ends on Nov. 30.
