MIAMI – We may be getting closer to the end of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, but the tropics remain active as forecasters monitor two areas of disturbed weather that could develop into tropical systems.
One area being watched closely is located over the central Atlantic Ocean and has been designated Invest 94L, while the second area is located in the western Caribbean Sea.

Forecasters with the National Hurricane Center (NHC) said Invest 94L remains over the central Atlantic Ocean and is a well-defined area of low pressure that has been producing precipitation and thunderstorms.
The NHC said Invest 94L remains in a dry-air environment, and development of the system over the next day or two remains unlikely. However, the system is expected to continue to move off to the west into an environment that will be more favorable for development. A tropical depression could form as it approaches the Leeward Islands and into the Caribbean Sea.
On Thursday, a Hurricane Hunter aircraft will take off from St. Croix in the U.s. Virgin Islands (USVI) to get a better look at Invest 94L.
If you plan to travel to popular warm-weather destinations such as Puerto Rico or the USVI, you’ll want to monitor the forecast.
For the millions of people in Florida still recovering from back-to-back major hurricanes, Helene and Milton, Invest 94L doesn’t appear to be impacting the Sunshine State at this time. However, download the free FOX Weather app to monitor any changes to the forecast.

The NHC said a broad area of low pressure could develop over the western Caribbean Sea by the middle or end of this week off the coast of Central America.
If the system remains over warm water while slowly moving west-northwest toward northern Central America, some gradual development is possible.
The NHC said that regardless of development, locally heavy rain is possible across portions of Central America later this week. The system has a low chance of developing over the next week.
