The same weather system that's about to bring an end to summerlike temperatures in the Northeast could affect the formation of a tropical storm in the Caribbean next week. Here's how.

00:00 The big cool down on the northeast this weekend could have tropical impacts well into next
00:05 week in the southeast.
00:06 Yes, you heard that right.
00:07 Bernie Rayno is here to explain.
00:10 Yeah, that big dip in the jet stream, that colder air coming into the northeast and Midwest
00:15 is going to have implications late next week in the tropics.
00:20 How so?
00:21 Well, with this dip in the jet stream coming on south, you know what it's going to end
00:24 up doing?
00:25 It's going to take a cold front and blast it all the way through the southeast as we
00:29 get into Friday and Saturday.
00:31 Then early next week, that frontal boundary, you know what it's going to do?
00:36 It's going to stall across south Florida and also into the southern part of the Gulf of
00:41 Mexico.
00:42 Now, once this front stalls, we're also going to start seeing moisture coming in from the
00:47 Pacific, tropical moisture along this front.
00:50 And what will end up happening is you're going to start getting an area of showers and thunderstorms
00:54 to form along this front, probably about the middle part of the week.
00:58 And these showers and thunderstorms, if they can sit in this area over warm water and start
01:02 to organize, it's possible we could be looking at some tropical development.
01:06 So again, late next week, that's why we're going to keep an eye on this area.
01:09 We'll continue to track Philippe, but once Philippe goes, we start watching this area
01:14 by the end of next week.
