Orlando: Atlantic tropical activity

9:45 p.m. Update:

ORLANDO, Fla. — The original disturbance in the Caribbean is now not being given a chance of development, but a closer disturbance, dubbed AL96, has a 50% chance of becoming a short-lived tropical depression.

Steering currents, though should deflect this out to sea as well.

After redeveloping Friday morning, Tropical Storm Tammy continues to spin in the open Atlantic.

Tammy won’t pose a direct threat to Florida, Meteorologist Kassandra Crimi said Saturday.

But despite the storm’s distance from the Sunshine State, Tammy is contributing to dangerous rip currents at Central Florida’s beaches.

Channel 9 meteorologists are also monitoring two areas of low pressure, one in the Southwest Caribbean, the other just north of Puerto Rico over the Southwestern Atlantic.

Meteorologist George Waldenberger said the activity in the SW Caribbean does not have a high chance for development.

He expects the activity near Puerto Rico will drift a little closer to Florida over the next few days, with some chance for development.

“But by Monday, before it would get any closer, upper-level winds will likely become too strong for this system to further organize,” Waldenberger said.

And while the weather might lure you to the beach in the coming days, Waldenberger offered this advice:

“It’s not the best weekend for the beaches because of the winds, rip currents and high waves. We may even see some minor beach erosion during high tides.”
