TAMPA, Fla. — Hurricane season is coming to a close, but it isn’t over yet.

The National Hurricane Center is keeping an eye on an area of low pressure about 250 miles east-northeast of the northern Leeward Islands. 

The area is producing some disorganized showers and thunderstorms and strong winds on its northeast side.

The NHC says this system could become a tropical or subtropical depression in the next two or three days. It has a 70-percent chance of development during the next five days.

The disturbance is forecast to merge with a frontal system after midweek and further development is not expected by that time, according to the NHC.

It is not expected to impact Florida at this time.
