 than any in a generation,” said Dr. Ryan Truchelut, chief meteorologist with WeatherTiger. Truchelut is a Florida meteorologist who works with the USA TODAY Network.

Here’s the latest advisory from the NHC as of 2 a.m., Monday, Oct. 28:

Tropical Storm Patty? Will Florida see another storm or hurricane?

Two conditions that have played a role throughout this hurricane season could bring yet another depression or tropical storm: low wind shear and very warm water.

“If there is low wind shear, which we expect, I think we will be getting a tropical depression or storm to form,” said AccuWeather Chief On-Air Meteorologist Bernie Rayno.

Yet another factor this time is the Central ********* Gyre, which is more active at the start and end of the season. A

that can help the development of tropical systems.

“Although tropical storms that form from the gyre can sometimes take several days to become better organized, development can sometimes ramp up quickly once it begins,” AccuWeather said.

“Storms in the Caribbean usually move to the north or northeast in November. This means that residents and visitors along the Southeast Coast will have to keep a close eye on development,” cautioned DaSilva.

November brings tropical development closer to Florida, US

While months earlier in the Atlantic hurricane season typically see tropical waves emerge off the ******** coast, moving across the Atlantic and giving people plenty of advance notice, that’s not the case for the last month of the season.

“As we move into early November, the focus for tropical development shifts closer to the ******* States. Typically, the areas of focus late in the season are the Caribbean and off the Southeast coast,” said AccuWeather Lead Hurricane Expert Alex DaSilva.

Another area to watch located southeast of Florida, US

This area currently has a low chance for development. It could form along the end of a cold front that will move off the East Coast late this week, according to AccuWeather.

“If an area of low pressure forms and is not attached to the front, then the development potential would increase.”

A broad area of low pressure is likely to develop over the southwestern Caribbean Sea in a few days, according to the latest advisory from the National Hurricane Center.

Gradual development is possible thereafter, and a tropical depression could form late this week or over the weekend while the system begins to drift northward or northeastward over the southwestern and south-centralCaribbean Sea.

Formation chance through 48 hours: low, near 0 percent.

Formation chance through 7 days: medium, 40 percent.

The National Hurricane Center also is watching four tropical waves:

Eastern Atlantic: An eastern Atlantic tropical wave is along 34W, south of 15N, moving westward at 11 to 17 mph.

East of Leeward Islands: A tropical wave along 51W, south of 17N is moving westward at 11 to 17 mph.

Eastern Caribbean Sea: An eastern Caribbean tropical wave is along 67W, south of 16N, and moving westward at 11 to 17 mph.

Southwestern Caribbean: A Southwestern Caribbean tropical wave is along 82W, south of 18N and moving westward at 11 to 17 mph.

Who is likely to be impacted?

Regardless of development,

are expected over much of the Caribbean this week, AccuWeather said. Life-threatening mudslides and flash flooding can result, even in the unlikely event that a tropical depression or tropical storm does not develop.

Forecasters urge all residents to continue monitoring the tropics and to always be prepared.
