Of two disturbances in the Atlantic Ocean, one could be something more by midweek while the other is expected to become nothing more.
Here’s what the National Hurricane Center’s 8 a.m. Tuesday advisory said about the two systems.
Disturbance in the Central Tropical Atlantic
This disturbance, about 750 miles northeast of the Leeward Islands, could become a tropical depression or storm
“Environmental conditions still could support tropical cyclone formation during the next two to three days while the system moves northwestward and then northward at 10 to 15 mph,” hurricane center specialist Jack Beven said in the advisory.
▪ Formation chance through 48 hours: 40%
▪ Formation chance through seven days: 50%
Will the disturbance affect Florida?
This disturbance is forecast to stay well away from the United States coastline. Whatever it becomes is expected to swing north of the central Atlantic.
Disturbance off the East Coast
The gale-force non-tropical low pressure system over the western Atlantic several hundred miles south of Cape Race Newfoundland has merged with a frontal system. Tropical cyclone formation is not anticipated.
▪ Formation chance through 48 hours and seven days: 0%.
Will the disturbance affect Florida?
The system is not a concern for Florida or the U.S.
