ORLANDO, Fla. – Remember, there’s still more than a month left in the 2022 hurricane season.
The National Hurricane Center on Friday is watching two disturbances.

A trough of low pressure over the southwestern Atlantic Ocean continues to produce a broad area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms.
A surface low pressure system is forecast to emerge along the northern portion of the trough axis by Friday, and some subsequent development could occur through Saturday. By late Saturday, upper-level winds are forecast to become less conducive for development, and the low is expected to begin interacting with an approaching frontal system.
The system has a 30% chance for tropical development over the next two to five days.
Meantime, an area of low pressure is expected to form over the eastern Caribbean Sea this weekend, possibly related to the southern portion of an existing trough of low pressure over the area.
Environmental conditions are favorable for gradual development, and a tropical depression could form early next week while the disturbance moves generally west or west-northwest over the central Caribbean Sea.
The NHC said it has a 70% chance to develop over the next five days.
It’s too soon to know if it could have an impact on Florida, but most computer models show it stay away from the U.S.
The next named storm will be called Lisa.
Hurricane season runs through November.
