A tropical storm is likely to form in the next 24 hours in the Caribbean Ocean and become a hurricane after that. The biggest impacts are likely to Florida Panhandle as early as Thursday. The Weather Network's meteorologist Laura Power explains the possibilities.

There's a 70% chance a western Caribbean system becomes a tropical depression in the next two days and a 90% chance over the next seven. FOX 35 Storm Team Meteorologist Brooks Garner said it's overwhelmingly likely that we'll see a hurricane this week with landfall occurring on Thursday.
