Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center are closely watching a tropical disturbance for signs of development on Monday.
The disturbance is located in the Caribbean Sea near the Lesser Antilles and about 200 miles east of Puerto Rico. It's moving westward at 20 mph.
"It is not a well-formed system at this time. The trail looks like it will stay to our south. It's impact on us at this point looks like it will be minimal, but of course we will keep watching throughout the entire life of the system," WESH 2 Weather Plus meteorologist Malachi Rodgers said.
Forecasters said the system could intensify during the next several days and become a subtropical or tropical storm, but even if the system doesn't strengthen, it could still produce heavy squalls and gusty winds across the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. It is expected to stay south of Florida, forecasters said.
The Atlantic hurricane season that ended on Nov. 30 saw 14 named storms, including six hurricanes.
