The National Hurricane Center has moved their attention to the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea with three areas of interest. Here's how the NHC described each as of 1 p.m. Monday.
A broad low pressure system is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms over the eastern tropical Atlantic more than 700 miles west of the Cabo Verde Islands. Little development is expected during the next couple of days due to only marginally conducive ocean temperatures. Thereafter, however, some gradual development will be possible through the end of the week while the system moves northwestward at 10 to 15 mph over the central Atlantic.
- Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
- Formation chance through 5 days...medium...40 percent.
A tropical wave located over the eastern Caribbean Sea is expected to form a broad area of low pressure over the southwestern Caribbean Sea by late week. Thereafter, environmental conditions are forecast to become favorable for gradual development while the system moves west-northwestward over the northwestern Caribbean Sea.
- Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
- Formation chance through 5 days...medium...40 percent.
Another area of disturbed weather has developed in association with a low pressure system located over the far eastern tropical Atlantic more than 500 miles south-southeast of the Cabo Verde Islands. Some slow development will be possible over the next several days while the disturbance moves westward to west-northwestward at around to 15 mph over the eastern tropical Atlantic.
- Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
- Formation chance through 5 days...medium...40 percent.
