The National Hurricane Center is continuing to watch an area of disturbed weather east of the Windward Islands that could become a tropical depression.
It's expected to continue moving generally westward towards Central America. Models do not show the system moving towards the Gulf Coast at this time.
Here's the Wednesday morning update on the system from the NHC:
A broad area of low pressure located near the southern Windward Islands continues to produce a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Radar imagery from Barbados and surface observations indicate that the system has not become any better organized since yesterday. However, upper-level winds are forecast to become more conducive for development, and a tropical depression is likely to form over the next several days if the system remains over water while moving generally westward at about 15 mph over the southeastern and southern Caribbean Sea. An Air Force reconnaissance mission is currently en route to investigate the system this morning.
Regardless of development, heavy rainfall with localized flooding, as well as gusty winds to gale force, are expected over portions of the Windward Islands, northern portions of South America, and the ABC Islands during the next couple of days. Interests in those locations, in addition to those in Central America, should continue to monitor the progress of this system.
Forecasters are also watching Tropical Depression Twelve in the far eastern Atlantic. The NHC described it as "barely hanging on as a tropical cyclone" on Thursday.
The 2022 Atlantic hurricane season ends on November 30.
