A tropical wave has been detected off the African coast, potentially becoming a weather system to watch in the Caribbean, according to meteorologists. The disturbance is forecasted to move westward to west-northwestward at speeds of 15 to 20 mph, interacting with another system in the eastern tropical Atlantic. While slow development is possible, the National Hurricane Center has indicated that the likelihood of cyclone formation remains minimal. The probability of development within the next 48 hours is near 0%, with a slight increase to 20% over the next seven days. Despite the low risk, experts are urging Caribbean residents to remain vigilant, as October is historically an active month during the hurricane season. The situation underscores the importance of preparedness during this period, even as current forecasts suggest limited immediate threat.
