BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – National Hurricane Center has increased the chances for a tropical depression in the Atlantic to 70-percent in the next five days.

The latest 8 p.m. report by NHC shows the low pressure system is located around 1,100 miles east of the Lesser Antilles and moving to the west-northwest at 10-15 mph.

Currently, the disturbance (red X) is producing some rain showers and thunderstorm activity.

Experts project the possible tropical depression is likely to form several hundred miles east of the Lesser Antilles in the next couple of days.

In the meantime, a disturbance (yellow X) that was stirring in the Caribbean and dumped heavy rainfall over Puerto Rico and the Bahamas has dissipated.

The storm will continue to produce heavy rainfall, but does not pose a threat to become a tropical depression, according to the National Hurricane Center.
