Caribbean disturbance could develop into Tropical Storm Sara
A disturbance swirling over the central Caribbean Sea has a high chance of developing into a tropical depression by the end of the week. Some computer forecast models show that it could continue to strengthen and become Tropical Storm Sara.
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) said early Tuesday morning that a tropical wave over the central Caribbean is continuing to produce an area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms, and environmental conditions appear conducive to additional development and strengthening.
Northeast faces renewed wildfire threat
The wildfire threat across the Northeast is increasing after brief rain earlier this week provided little relief to long-term drought conditions, and gusty winds could help wildfires rapidly spread if they were to ignite.
With ongoing fires in New Jersey, a shift in the winds on Tuesday could bring smoke back into the New York City metro area, creating hazy skies and a distinct smoky smell.
