(Reuters) - An elongated area of low pressure from southwest to northeast across the southwestern and central Caribbean Sea has a 20 percent chance of turning into a cyclone in the next 48 hours, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said on Thursday.
"Satellite imagery and ship reports indicate that the system has become a little better organized (Thursday) evening," the Miami-based weather forecaster said, adding "however, strong upper-level winds are expected to prevent significant additional development."
