Hurricane season officially ends on November 30th and while the end of the season is near, the tropics could get active again soon. The National Hurricane Center has an area they are keeping a close eye on in the Caribbean just south of Jamaica that has an 80 percent chance of becoming a tropical system in the next 7 days.

A disturbance tracking south of Jamaica Wednesday morning – designated Invest 99L by the National Hurricane Center – is expected to organize into Tropical Storm Sara over the coming days and could strengthen into a powerful hurricane by this weekend as it hangs about off the coasts of Honduras and Nicaragua.

“Next week, what will become the next named storm of the hurricane season, can impact Florida. Invest 99L is likely to become a tropical depressing in the next day or so and continue to strengthen through the end of the week,” Max Defender 8 Meteorologist Amanda Holly said.
