Watches issued for US territories ahead of potential tropical storm

The video discusses a potential tropical cyclone, currently disorganized and located east of the Lesser Antilles. It is likely to develop into a storm named Ernesto within a day or two, with a path possibly affecting the islands by mid-week. While most models predict the storm will move out to sea, one model suggests it could approach Florida, causing rip currents along the East Coast. However, it is too early to determine any direct impacts.

When could the cyclone potentially become a hurricane?

What do the models indicate about the path of the storm?
