Potential storm brewing

A low pressure system located about 1,300 miles east of the Lesser Antilles Monday morning has the potential to develop into a tropical storm or hurricane and track toward the Western Caribbean.

Known as Invest 94L, the weather system was showing signs of becoming better organised Monday. The National Hurricane Center in Miami issued a notice saying Invest had a high potential of developing into the third tropical cyclone of the 2008 Atlantic hurricane season.

New tropical depression threatens Cayman

The 17th tropical depression of the 2008 Atlantic hurricane season formed on Wednesday and was expected to strengthen into a storm or perhaps even a hurricane on a path that could threaten the Cayman Islands, Jamaica and Cuba, US forecasters said.

The depression, which would be called Tropical Storm Paloma when its top sustained winds reach 39 miles per hour, was 115 miles southeast of Cabo Gracias a Dios on the Nicaragua-Honduras border, at 4 pm. on Wednesday, the US National Hurricane Centre said.

The weather system has formed in the last month of what experts correctly predicted would be a busier than normal Atlantic hurricane season.
