Aug. 17 (UPI) -- A low pressure system east of the Caribbean has the potential to grow into the Atlantic's eighth hurricane, though forecasters said it is not likely to threaten the United States.
The area, now referred to as Potential Tropical Cyclone 9, has the likelihood of growing into Hurricane Harvey. Early projections show its most likely track is west through the lower Caribbean Sea, putting it on a trajectory to make landfall on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula.
