Forecasters are watching two other areas for possible development. One is an area of low pressure over the Caribbean Sea that could be rain to Florida. Forecasters said that the system could become a tropical depression, with formation chances at 70% over the next week.

The other area forecasters are watching is in the Eastern Tropical Atlantic, several hundred miles west of the Cabo Verde Islands. That system could become a tropical depression by the weekend, forecasters said. Formation chances are 50% over the next week.

Hurricane forecasters continue to monitor Tropical Storm Franklin, which is pulling away from Turks and Caicos. Franklin is forecast to regain strength and reach hurricane status in a couple of days.
