The system has a low chance of developing.
A low pressure system moving through the Caribbean could bring rain to parts of Puerto Rico, Colombia and Hispaniola through the weekend, forecasters said Friday morning (Nov. 17).
As of 6 a.m., the system was over the central Caribbean Sea and was producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Forecasters with the National Hurricane Center said strong upper-level winds should limit the system’s development as it drifts north over the next few days.
It has a low chance (20 percent) of becoming at least a tropical depression within 48 hours and within five days.
However, forecasters said heavy rainfall is possible for Puerto Rico regardless of the system’s development.
