Subtropical Storm Patty forms in Atlantic but expected to weaken soon

news.yahoo.com

Subtropical Storm Patty formed in the North Atlantic, becoming the 16th named storm of the 2024 hurricane season. Patty is currently about 200 kilometers south-southeast of the Azores, with winds of 85 km/h. It is expected to weaken and become a post-tropical low soon. A second disturbance in the southwestern Caribbean Sea has a 90% chance of developing into a tropical depression in the coming days. This system is likely to move northward, potentially impacting areas like Jamaica, Hispaniola, and Cuba with heavy rain. A third system near the Greater Antilles has low chances of development. It may move toward the southeastern Bahamas and eastern Cuba but is expected to merge with the Caribbean low-pressure area by late Monday. Heavy rains are possible in several regions regardless of development.
