The National Hurricane Center is now tracking a new tropical disturbance in the Atlantic Ocean that is eyeing parts of the Caribbean later next week.
After weeks of quiet in the tropics, the National Hurricane Center is watching a disturbance in the Atlantic Ocean.
Located east of the Lesser Antilles, this disturbance is expected to interact with an approaching area of low pressure during the next several days, according to the NHC.

Forecasters added that this disturbance could possibly grow and develop as it moves toward the Lesser Antilles during early to mid-next week and then near the Greater Antilles toward the end of the week.
Currently, the chances of the disturbance developing into a tropical depression are low.

This disturbance comes as hurricane season has been relatively quiet since Hurricane Beryl made landfall in Texas earlier this month.
Should the disturbance grow into a tropical storm, it will be named Debby.
