Disturbance nears Caribbean Sea, with another system also in the Atlantic, forecast shows
A disturbance near the Windward Islands, and another system in the far eastern Atlantic, could see some development by early next week, forecasters said.
The National Hurricane Center in its 8 p.m. advisory Thursday gave both disturbances a low chance of formation in the next two to five days. At the moment, neither of the systems are a threat to Florida.
The system that was producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms near the Windward Islands Thursday night is expected to move west at about 15 mph, where conditions could become more “conducive for slow development” by early next week, according to the hurricane center.
Forecasters are giving it a 0% chance of formation in the next 48 hours and a 20% chance of formation through the next five days.
The other disturbance forecasters are monitoring is in the far eastern Atlantic south of the Cabo Verde Islands.
The hurricane center on Thursday night gave it a 10% chance of formation in the next 48 hours and said it might see environmental conditions that could “support some slow development” as it quickly moves west across the Atlantic through early next week.
Forecasters are giving it a low 20% chance of formation through the next five days.
NOAA’s revised prediction says there could be 11 to 17 named storms before the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season ends on Nov. 30. The next storm name on the list is Danielle.
