ACCU WEATHER-<\/strong> A narrow plume of moisture may be just wide enough to foster tropical development from the south-central Atlantic Ocean to the Caribbean Sea as well as help to strengthen a tropical storm, perhaps the first hurricane of the 2024 season in the coming days.<\/p>

AccuWeather<\/a> meteorologists are tracking two key systems, among other tropical activities, over the next week or so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the past couple of days, a batch of showers and thunderstorms has emerged in center stage. This featureis part of dozens of tropical waves that originate from the Indian Ocean and drift across Africa in the form of breezes and thunderstorms annually. Once these systems emerge over the Atlantic, a small number evolve into tropical storms and hurricanes.<\/p>

“This feature is tracking south of a zone of dry air, dust and stiff disruptive breezes called wind shear,” AccuWeather<\/a> Chief On-Air Meteorologist Bernie Rayno said.<\/p>

Because of the high risk of tropical development, AccuWeather began referring to the system as a tropical rainstorm on Thursday to help raise public awareness of the risk to lives and property along the storm’s path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This tropical “sweet spot” is the only real zone in the Atlantic worth watching at this time, but it has multiple features extending from near the coast of Africa to the western Caribbean and the shores of Central America and southern Mexico.<\/p>

“Steering breezes will guide the system to near the Windward Islands of the eastern Caribbean from Sunday night to Monday morning, then waters near Jamaica during the middle of next week and perhaps to the shores of Central America at the end of next week,” AccuWeather<\/a> Senior Storm Warning Meteorologist Eddie Walker said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
