Watching Atlantic for three possible developments

Three areas are currently being monitored in the Atlantic basin for possible tropical cyclone development. The first in the North Atlantic, Invest 96-L, is a low that has a MEDIUM 40% chance for tropical or subtropical development over the next few days as it nears the Azores. Two other disturbances are being monitored, one in the SW Caribbean and one in the NE Caribbean. SW Caribbean system now has a HIGH 70% chance to become a tropical depression or storm in the next week. The next few names on the list would be Patty and Rafael. It's forecast to track into the central Caribbean and could even make it to the southern Gulf next week. In the NE Caribbean, a trough of low pressure near Puerto Rico has a LOW 10% chance for tropical development as it drifts WNW. Neither of these systems is expected to make it to Texas.
