Havana, November 2 (RHC) -- Subtropical storm Patty is moving through the North Atlantic at 11 kilometers per hour (km/h) today and will pass near the Azores Islands this weekend, the US National Hurricane Center reported.

Its center is located at latitude 39.9 north, longitude 34.4 west, and it is moving east-southeast with winds of 85 kilometers per hour with stronger gusts, the institution notes.

Few changes in intensity are expected today, but a gradual weakening is expected. Patty could degenerate into a post-tropical cyclone at the end of Sunday, it says.

Meanwhile, two other systems are developing in the Caribbean, one of which has increased its chance of becoming a tropical depression in the next 48 hours to 60 percent.

This is a broad area of ​​low pressure located southwest of the Caribbean Sea, which causes rain and thunderstorms.

According to forecasts, gradual development of this system is expected, and a tropical depression is likely to form within the next few days as the system moves generally from north to northwest over the central and western Caribbean Sea.

Regardless of development, locally heavy rains are possible over parts of the adjacent land areas of the western Caribbean, including Jamaica, Hispaniola and Cuba.

The report highlights that the progress of this system should be monitored in the western Caribbean Sea.

As forecasters predicted, the sixth and last month of the current Atlantic and Caribbean hurricane season will be active.    (Source: Prensa Latina)
