US EditionNational Hurricane Center Highlights 2 Areas in the Atlantic
- On Thursday, the National Hurricane Center began tracking a tropical wave in the central Atlantic Ocean expected to reach the central Caribbean Sea by mid next week.
- Hurricane researchers warned last week that warmer-than-average sea-surface temperatures and weak vertical wind shear, plus a pulse from the Madden Julian Oscillation, could encourage gradual organization.
- The NHC gives the disturbance a 20% chance of developing within seven days and forecasters expect it to move west at 15-20 mph over the next several days.
- Interests in the Lesser Antilles, Puerto Rico and Hispaniola should monitor the wave over the next seven days, as only Tropical Storm Chantal has made a U.S. landfall this year and the season runs through Nov. 30.
- Computer models are split on the track, Fox Weather's Bryan Norcross said the disturbance should reach the southeastern Caribbean islands by Sunday or Monday, and Zack Fradella warned `This is a 7-10 day forecast so nobody has a clue where this will go`.
