A potential tropical cyclone, designated as Invest #98L, is expected to develop into Tropical Storm Vince and impact the Caribbean, particularly Jamaica, Haiti, and Cuba. The system, known as Potential Tropical Cyclone Twenty-Two, is currently causing heavy rains and is forecast to bring life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides to southeastern Cuba and Hispaniola. The National Hurricane Center has issued tropical storm watches and warnings for parts of the Greater Antilles, with a 70% chance of tropical cyclone formation within the next 48 hours. The system's broad nature and nearby dry air suggest limited strengthening. The Bahamas may also be affected by the potential tropical development. The system is being monitored for further development and potential impact.

TROPICS: Potential Tropical Cyclone 22 is in the Caribbean, but the chance for the system to become a tropical cyclone continues to decrease and in fact now appears unlikely due to a combination of the system's broad structure, the terrain of the Greater Antilles, strong… https://t.co/0WxapeBsna https://t.co/nQtCClIWz9

It's not a named storm, and it may not get named at all, but Potential Tropical Cyclone 22 is still one of the most threatening systems of the entire 2023 Atlantic season thus far. Here's an update from @DrJeffMasters and me. @CC_Yale https://t.co/4G9xkT0awt
NHC and @NWSWPC are beginning to issue experimental graphics for rainfall associated with tropical cyclones affecting Caribbean and Central American locations. For more info and to provide comments, refer to the Public Information Statement: https://t.co/xSTcjkk5BC https://t.co/KLvnQ7mpzm
PTC22 is elongated and disorganized this morning. As noted in the NHC discussion, I think there's a chance this doesn't organize into a TC before getting elongated and strung out into the trough as it lifts to the northeast. Heavy rain will be the main threat either way. https://t.co/KsNpItt7pA
# Advisory 3A: Heavy Rains Continue to Douse Portions of Jamaica, Eastern Cuba, And Haiti. https://t.co/tW4KeGe9uJ

Vince likely coming soon. It's not quite there yet, but it looks like we'll see Vince forming by tomorrow. Since it will impact parts of Jamaica, Haiti and Cuba, the National Hurricane Center has started issuing tracks and advisories. #SCwx @WMBFnews https://t.co/ICGuaYzOUz
