The National Hurricane Center is monitoring Potential Tropical Storm Eighteen, which has prompted a Hurricane Watch for the Cayman Islands and a Tropical Storm Warning for Jamaica.

Meanwhile, Subtropical Storm Patty near the Azores is expected to dissipate soon. The Caribbean waters remain conducive for tropical development, with the storm's future path influenced by a jet stream dip over the U.S.
