UPDATE: Two Tropical storms forms in Atlantic east of Caribbean Sea

The Atlantic isn't as crowded as it was when Hurricane Florence was making its way toward the mainland a week ago, but two tropical waves in the ocean have a chance of developing.

One of the systems is making its way west toward the Caribbean Sea, though its chances of developing are low.

A westward-moving tropical wave is producing a small but concentrated area of thunderstorms about 900 miles east of the Windward Islands.

Some slow development of this disturbance will be possible through early Friday before environmental conditions become quite unfavorable for tropical cyclone formation by late Friday and continuing through the weekend.

A non-tropical low pressure system is forecast to develop this weekend over the central subtropical Atlantic Ocean between Bermuda and the Azores.

After that time, conditions are expected to become favorable for the formation of a subtropical or tropical cyclone while the low meanders over the central Atlantic.
