Current System Near Aruba

When I was doing my “daily route” on the website of National Hurricane Center (NHC) I saw above image on the front page. At this hour the advisory of the NHC is a low – below 30% – possibility of tropical storm formation within the next 48 hours.

The NHC advisory states that there are chances of local storms and wind gusts over the windward island for the coming hours. On a related note, further east in the Atlantic there’s another system forming and has just became Tropical Depression Number Two. That one is not expected to pass in the Southern Caribbean and cause disruption in normal Aruba weather.

Currently the weather on the island is good. There are no storms to be seen. Below picture of the Aruba sky was just taken a few minutes ago. I don’t expect the two tropical systems (marked in yellow in above image) to become anything significant, however if there’s anything worth writing about, I will.
