Tropical depression may form in Atlantic this week. What hurricane center forecast says
The National Hurricane Center is monitoring an area of low pressure that could develop into a tropical system this week.
Here are the details:
Where is it?
Location: The area of showers and thunderstorms is a few hundred miles to the east-northeast of Bermuda.
Will it get stronger?
Development chances: Formation chance is 20% through 48 hours and 50% through seven days.
Forecast: The National Hurricane Center said early Monday that the area of low pressure is forecast to develop in the next day or so. A subtropical or tropical depression could form later in the week as the system moves east.
Where is it heading?
Direction: By the weekend, the low should turn north bringing the system over cooler waters “and likely limiting additional development,” the hurricane center said.
Will it affect Florida?
The forecast lists no threats to Florida. “It is pushing away from us,” said CBS News Miami meteorologist Lissette Gonzalez.
