First Alert Weather team monitoring tropical wave

First Alert Weather Team continues to track a tropical wave moving through the Atlantic and heading into the Caribbean this week.

Right now it has a low chance of development, but some global models are persistent in developing a storm and moving it into the NW Caribbean early week.

We will monitor this should it develop. Any potential threat to the U.S. coastline would be over a week away.

More Florida hurricane landfalls occur in October than in any other month, so it is the peak of the season for us.
