Tropical Depression Seven forms as focus now shifts to the eastern Caribbean
MIAMI - Tropical Depression Seven on Wednesday formed from a tropical wave in the Atlantic Ocean as attention now shifts to the eastern Caribbean, which could see heavy rain and gusty winds.
According to forecasters, the depression was moving in a northwesterly and west direction and could reach the Lesser Antilles of the eastern Caribbean as soon as Friday.
If the depression is upgraded to a named storm, it would be called Fiona.
We're now past the half-point of hurricane season and tropical activity so far has been minimal.
It is too soon to say if the storm will threaten the mainland U.S.
