National Hurricane Center watching two weather systems

The US National Hurricane Center is monitoring two weather disturbances - one in the Southwestern Caribbean Sea and the other on the Southeast coast of the United States.
The NHC, in its latest update at 7 am on Wednesday, said Disturbance One, which is a broad area of disorganised showers and thunderstorms over the southwestern Caribbean Sea, is associated with a trough of low pressure.
Environmental conditions appear marginally conducive to the development of this system, and a tropical depression could still form by the weekend while the system begins moving northeastward across the western and central portions of the Caribbean Sea.
Interests in Jamaica, Cuba, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, the southeastern Bahamas, and the Turks and Caicos Islands should monitor the progress of this system.
Regardless of development, this system has the potential to produce heavy rains over portions of the Caribbean coast of Central America and the Greater Antilles through the weekend.
Disturbance One has a 30 per cent (low) chance of formation through 48 hours and a 50 per cent (medium) chance of formation through seven days.
Meanwhile, for Disturbance Two, the NHC says a non-tropical area of low pressure is expected to develop near southern Florida along a surface trough over the next day or so. This system is then forecast to move north-eastward near the Bahamas and offshore of the east coast of the US late this week and over the weekend.
Although development into a tropical cyclone appears unlikely, this system is expected to produce gusty winds and heavy rains across portions of southern Florida, the Florida Keys, and the Bahamas during the next few days.
Disturbance Two has a 10 per cent (low) chance of formation through 48 hours and a 10 per cent (low) formation chance through seven days.
