Meteorologists are closely monitoring a weather system in the Caribbean that is expected to develop into a tropical storm in the coming days. The United States’ National Hurricane Center has raised the probability of this system evolving into either a tropical depression or a tropical storm from 70% to 80%, indicating a significant increase in the likelihood of its formation. Currently situated in the central Caribbean Sea, the system is projected to move northwestward, potentially gaining strength and becoming Tropical Storm Melissa within the next week. Authorities in Jamaica are advising residents to stay alert, keep abreast of official weather forecasts, and revisit their hurricane preparedness strategies to ensure safety.
