The Atlantic basin is showing more activity, with the National Hurricane Center monitoring three separate disturbances.
While none poses an immediate threat to Florida, AL92 central tropical Atlantic is increasingly likely to become a tropical depression.
TROPCIAL DEPRESSION CRISTOBAL: Based on the increasingly harsh environmental conditions that the storm is entering as well as the latest model guidance, Cristobal is expected to continue weakening, and it is unlikely that convection will make a comeback.
The NHC forecast now calls for Cristobal to become a remnant low by noon on Thursday.
RED SHADED AREA: Central Tropical Atlantic (AL92) is an area of showers and thunderstorms associated with a tropical wave is located about 900 miles west-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands.
Showers and thunderstorms are showing some signs of organization in association with a tropical wave located in the Central Tropical Atlantic midway between the Lesser Antilles and the west coast of Africa.
Environmental conditions are forecast to be conducive for further development, and a tropical depression will likely form during the next day or two while the system moves westward or west- northwestward across the central tropical Atlantic.
There is high chance for tropical formation in the next 48 hours.
Formation chance through 48 hours...high...80 percent Formation chance through 7 days...high...80 percent
ORANGE AREA: Eastern Tropical Atlantic (AL94) is a tropical wave located a few hundred miles south of the Cabo Verde Islands producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms.
Environmental conditions are forecast to be generally conducive for some development, and a tropical depression could form late this week or this weekend while the wave moves westward or west- northwestward across the eastern and central tropical Atlantic.
Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent Formation chance through 7 days...medium...50 percent
One important reminder
The percentages displayed by the National Hurricane Center represent the chance that a tropical depression or storm will formโnot the likelihood of a hurricane, landfall or impacts at a particular location. Right now, there is no reason for alarm in Florida, but we are entering the portion of hurricane season when tropical activity typically increases, so checking the forecast regularly is always a good idea.
