New area to watch in the Caribbean
The NBC2 First Alert Hurricane Team is monitoring two areas of interest now. The latest area is located in the Caribbean, meanwhile the other is near the Dominican Republic. The broad area of low pressure located in the Atlantic near the Dominican Republic is struggling to show a well-developed centralized low. This is why it has not become a tropical depression just yet, and due to environmental conditions deteriorating, it will struggle to do so. An Air Force One reconnaissance aircraft has been investigating this area today, and preliminary data suggest this low is struggling. This is likely given that the upper-level winds are beginning to pick and will continue to do so and begin to inject drier air in by Tuesday. After Tuesday, this system will not have any chances for further development. Therefore, if a depression were to develop in the next day or so, it would be short-lived.
Sunday Forecast: Stable, dry conditions & cold front on the way
Fairly consistent conditions remain across Southwest Florida, with little changes expected through Tuesday. The area of high pressure that has kept us mild and dry is shifting further out into the Atlantic as a cold front continues to track closer to the southeast. This cold front will sweep through Southwest Florida by Wednesday, bringing very windy conditions.
