Tropical Update
We are watching a broad low pressure area over the southwestern Caribbean Sea. This system continues to show little change in organization. However, environmental conditions are expected to be conducive for slow development during the next several days, and a tropical depression could form by late this weekend or early next week while the low moves slowly and erratically.
