Caribbean disturbance has potential path toward Florida, models show | Tracking the Tropics


Caribbean disturbance has potential path toward Florida, models show | Tracking the Tropics



 It may be November, but the tropics are still showing signs of life. 

A disturbance in the Caribbean is likely to become a tropical depression in the coming days, the National Hurricane Center said Tuesday.

Some models show the potential storm entering the Gulf of Mexico and making a turn toward Florida, but with those long-range predictions, it’s just too early to tell where it’s going to go, according to Max Defender 8 Meteorologist Amanda Holly.

“Several options are on the table, including getting swept out quickly into the Atlantic, as well as a tropical storm or even hurricane moving into the Gulf of Mexico,” Holly said. “That possibility is seven to 10 days away, making it too early to answer many questions except that a storm is likely to form.”


With the models looking far ahead, changes to the potential storm’s path are possible. Forecasters will know more about its potential path and intensity as it develops in the coming days.
