Meteorologists are keeping an eye on the Caribbean for possible storm development

Hurricane season is waning, but it’s not over yet. Meteorologists are monitoring the western Caribbean for possible storm development toward the end of the month. The next name on the list is “Patty.”

The forecast is far from set in stone. While there’s a lot of uncertainty, weather models are highlighting the risk of a pocket of spin that could consolidate into a named storm. It’s too early to speculate on possible strength or track — especially since there isn’t even a storm yet. But there’s a chance that this system could end up as the final hurricane churning in the Atlantic before the oceans cool and the calendar flips to 2025.
