Warm Caribbean waters and low wind shear are proving 'extremely favorable' for storm development, one meteorologist told Newsweek.
Meteorologists are keeping an eye on an area of potential tropical development in the Caribbean, and should a storm form, its track could take it toward Florida.The system is near where Tropical Storm Nadine formed last week. Nadine formed slowly, and then its path took the storm through Belize, into Central America and into Mexico, where it dissolved.
Storms that form in this region during late October typically move west across Central America, as Nadine did, or east toward Cuba. DaSilva doubts the storm will follow Nadine's path.Should the storm take aim at Florida, it could hit the state's western side, which recently battled back-to-back major hurricanes with Helene in late September and Milton in early October. Depending on atmospheric conditions, the storm could cut inland to impact the Carolinas.
