The NHC said Tuesday it is tracking a tropical wave in the Caribbean Sea that could become a tropical depression by the end of the week.

A disturbance swirling over the central Caribbean Sea now has a high chance of developing into a tropical depression by the end of the week, and some computer forecast models show it continuing to strengthen.

The National Hurricane Center on Monday increased its forecast odds a Caribbean system will develop into the season’s next tropical depression or storm. As of its 7 p.m. EST tropical outlook, the NHC said an area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms to the south of Hispaniola over the central Caribbean Sea was associated with a tropical wave.

Starting this weekend, we'll be keeping an eye on an area in the Caribbean where a tropical depression is likely to form.
