TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Hurricane Erin has returned to the sea after bringing heavy rain and dangerous rip currents to the Caribbean and parts of the East Coast.

As of 8 a.m. on Saturday, there are no tropical storm watches or warnings in the Atlantic, though that may change by the end of the day.

Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center are monitoring an area of low pressure sitting around 500 miles southeast of Bermuda. A tropical depression will likely form later Saturday with the possibility of intensifying into a tropical storm on Sunday as the low-pressure area moves northward.

Chances of development are high, at 100%, for both the next 48 hours and seven days, though it’s not expected to affect the U.S.

NHC is also keeping an eye on a tropical wave coming off the east coast of Africa. A tropical wave is a disorganized area of low pressure that brings rain and thunderstorms and has the potential to develop into a tropical depression.

The wave is located around 850 miles east of the Caribbean Islands and is moving fairly quickly, at 20 mph, west across the Atlantic. Some development is possible over the next few days, and the wave could bring heavy rain and gusty winds to part of the Windward Islands. The Windward Islands make up the southern half of the Lesser Antilles and generally include Dominica, Martinique, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Grenada, Barbados and Trinidad and Tobago.

Development chances are low at 10% over the next 48 hours and 20% through the next seven days.
