With Tropical Storm Chantal spinning out in the North Atlantic, a tropical depression may form over the next couple of days that could enter the Caribbean, the National Hurricane Center said on Wednesday. In a 5:30 a.m. EDT outlook, the NHC said an area of low pressure associated with a tropical wave continued to move westward at about 15 miles per hour. It is centered a couple hundred miles east of the Windward Islands, which include Barbados, Martinique, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Grenada, and Trinidad and Tobago. All weather models predict the system will cross the Windward Islands and move into the Caribbean south of Haiti and Cuba over the next week or so. Three of the weather models, however, show the storm heading toward Belize, Honduras and Nicaragua, while another model shows the storm heading toward the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. The NHC noted that, even if a storm does not develop, the system will likely bring a few squalls to the Windward Islands over the next day or so. A U.S. Air Force plane will investigate the area this afternoon if necessary. The NHC will name the next tropical storm Dean. Reprinted from news.yahoo
