Disturbance in Caribbean will likely develop

The chances for an area in the Caribbean to develop continue to increase, according to FOX 13 News Meteorologist Valerie Mills. A strong ridge of high pressure over the southeast is expected to block the storm from moving north but it could move into the Gulf of Mexico. If the system emerges into the Gulf it will encounter a lot of conditions that work against further development including dryer air, cooler waters and some wind shear.
