Formation chances up slightly as NHC monitors 2 areas of interest in Atlantic

  • The National Hurricane Center is monitoring two Atlantic disturbances with potential to develop into tropical depressions or storms, though neither currently poses a risk to Florida.
  • So far, the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season has been slow with only three named systems—Arthur, Bertha and Cristobal—even as the Tropics historically peak from mid-August through October.
  • One area of low pressure located about 400 miles southeast of Bermuda shows signs of organization and carries a 40% chance of development in the next two to seven days.
  • A tropical wave moving off the African coast on Monday carries a 50% chance of development within seven days, traveling westward across the Atlantic at 15 to 20 mph.
  • Computer models indicate the African wave will eventually curve north, though officials have not yet confirmed precise timing or intensity as Meteorologists continue analyzing model runs.
