The Southeast is still reeling from Hurricane Helene's deadly punch, but attention will soon need to return to the Caribbean as the tropics’ next act begins to brew, with steadily increasing odds of another tropical system developing within the next week.

Helene has caused more than 50 deaths and brought widespread flooding and destruction to Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas and Tennessee.
