There are several areas of possible tropical development in the Atlantic. First, an area of low pressure is expected to form near the southeast US coast. It now has a high development chance over the next two to five days. It’s expected to move northeast, however, keeping it away from the mainland US. A tropical wave entered the eastern Caribbean sea today. The National Hurricane center upped the formation chance from low to high Sunday. It continues west-northwest through the Caribbean this week.
While less noteworthy, there are a couple tropical waves close to Africa’s west coast with low formation chances. One is located just southwest of the Cape Verde islands. Another emerges off Africa’s west coast this week.
