WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — As we enter the final three official weeks of hurricane season, the WPTV First Alert Weather team is monitoring an area for possible tropical development.

There is a newly highlighted area in the southwestern Caribbean where a large low pressure area will form over the southwestern Caribbean Sea.

The system has a 40% chance of improving within the next seven days.

“In terms of impact for us here at home, I believe we will be really well protected with a series of cold fronts,” said WPTV First Alert Weather meteorologist Frances Peyton. “So this won’t cause too much concern for us. But we expect a lot of precipitation to come to parts of Cuba and the Yucatan Peninsula next week.”

Atlantic hurricane season officially ends on November 30.
