Evidence of tropical development in the Caribbean next week

SARASOTA, Fla. (WWSB) – Some global computer models suggest the next named system will develop in the tropical waters of the Caribbean next week. The so-called “American” model, the GFS model, shows a well-developed strong tropical storm or hurricane south of Cuba by Wednesday next week. Other models are not as aggressive in their development.

The waters of the Caribbean remain very warm, favoring tropical development. However, wind shear is forecast to be somewhat damaging to tropical cyclones over the Gulf of Mexico. We will continue to monitor this area next week as it is the most likely zone for hurricane development across the Atlantic basin.

On the Sunny Coast, the weather remains stable and seasonal during the first weeks of the dry season. Mostly sunny skies are expected and the chance of showers is minimal. Highs will be seasonal and will be in the mid 80s.
