NHC Watching 3 New Disturbances in Atlantic
The small low near Cabo Verde has the best short-term odds, while two other Atlantic systems face lower chances of development.
On Monday, August 10, 2026, the National Hurricane Center is monitoring three tropical disturbances in the Atlantic, though the overall tropical threat to the United States remains low.
A disturbance south of the Cabo Verde Islands shows the highest potential, with a 60 percent chance of development over the next seven days as it merges with a tropical wave off West Africa.
Northwest of Bermuda, a trough of low pressure has a 10 percent chance of formation through 48 hours, though the system is forecast to reach cooler waters and dissipate after Wednesday.
Meteorologists believe the third named storm, Cristobal, could form this week, though experts agree there is likely no threat to the Sunshine State or the U.S. Gulf Coast.
Upper-Level winds are expected to become less favorable for strengthening later this week, and Fox 13's Paul Dellegatto wrote that systems "will likely fizzle out as it moves into a hostile environment.
