Atlantic disturbance has high chance of forming. Another meanders in the Caribbean, NHC says
A disturbance east of Bermuda could see some development this weekend as its chances of turning into a tropical cyclone saw an increase, according to the National Hurricane Center.
The disturbance, described as a broad non-tropical low pressure system, was about 550 miles east-southeast of Bermuda, according to the hurricane center’s 8 p.m. advisory.
“Additional development of this system is expected, and a subtropical depression is likely to form during the next few days while the low meanders well to the southeast of Bermuda,” forecasters wrote.
Forecasters say the disturbance went from a 0% of development in the next two days in the morning report to a 60% chance in the night report. The disturbance also went from a 30% to a 70% of forming through the next five days.
Another broad area of low pressure is expected to form early next week over the southwestern Caribbean Sea. It could see some development by the middle of next week while it moves slowly over the Caribbean Sea, according to the hurricane center.
The system’s formation chances are at 0% for the next 48 hours and 30% through the next five days.
