The Atlantic basin is showing more activity, with the National Hurricane Center monitoring two separate disturbances.
YELLOW SHADED AREA: Central Tropical Atlantic (AL92) Showers and thunderstorms associated with a tropical wave located about 650 miles east of the Lesser Antilles have continued to become less organized.
This system is moving into a region of increasing upper-level winds and dry air, and the possibility of development is decreasing.
Regardless of development, interests in the Lesser Antilles should continue to monitor the progress of this system since gusty winds and areas of heavy rain are possible across these islands Friday night and Saturday.
The chance of formation through 48 hours is 30 percent and the chance through 7 days is 30 percent.
ORANGE SHADED AREA: Eastern Tropical Atlantic (AL94) is a tropical wave located several hundred miles southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms.
Environmental conditions are forecast to be generally conducive for gradual 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 remains at 30 percent and the chance through 7 days is 50 percent.
One important reminder
The percentages displayed by the National Hurricane Center represent the chance that a tropical depression or storm will form—not 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.
