In particular, an area in the southwest Caribbean has a high chance of development, according to an update Friday morning, Nov. 1 by the National Hurricane Center, rating the chance at 70 percent.

It's expected to develop by the weekend with a depression possibly forming by early next week.

It's moving to the north/northwest slowly and and is expected to advance into the Gulf of Mexico next week.

Two other systems -- one on the other side of the Northern Caribbean islands and the other in the northern Atlantic -- have less of a chance of developing.

Patty is next on the list of storm names for the hurricane season, which runs through Saturday, Nov. 1.
