Spaghetti models agree that the storm will curve to the north, hopefully keeping it away from the Caribbean. The system is still about seven days away, so models can change.
There are two other areas to watch— one in the northwestern Atlantic and a trough of low-pressure off of Louisiana's coast that has a chance of developing tropical characteristics.
