The floater is when the sattelite is focused on a specific area where something may brew or be suspisious and in this case it is looking at the eastern caribbean but not implying that it will develop but they are closely monitering it at the NHC.

"Floater" also can mean that the image "floats" to an area of convection that bears watching. When the area being monitored moves out of one region it moves to another so we can see the system.
