FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Two weather systems in the Atlantic are likely to form into tropical depressions this week and a third could join them, according to forecasters with the National Hurricane Center.
One system in the central Atlantic is moving west-northwest. It is gradually developing but is expected to remain outside of the Caribbean Sea as it moves generally toward the U.S. east coast. The presence of wind shear near the Caribbean could be a hinderance to further development beyond a tropical depression, according to AccuWeather, the private forecasting service.
Another system further north is expected to strengthen this week as it moves drifts east away from land. Any development is expected to be short lived.
