    TAMPA, Fla. ( WFLA ) — Although we’re nearing the end of hurricane season next month, the tropics are still active and popping up with disturbances.

    A new system has formed in the Caribbean that is “likely to develop” sometime this week, according to the National Hurricane Center.

    In the 8 a.m. ET update on Sunday, the disturbance shows a 30% chance for development over the next seven days.

    The NHC said gradual development is possible through the end of the week, as it moves northward or northeastward over the southwestern Caribbean Sea.

    The system first popped up on Saturday afternoon with a 20% chance over the course of seven days.

    Earlier this month, the Caribbean region was impacted by Tropical Storm Oscar, which made landfall in Cuba as a Category 1 hurricane before disintegrating as it headed toward the Bahamas.
