After Sean, when will another tropical depression come together? Possibly by midweek
As Tropical Depression Sean disintegrates, a disturbance in the Atlantic Ocean haltingly integrates and is expected to become a tropical depression. But, maybe not as soon as previously expected.
Here’s the National Hurricane Center’s latest forecasts for the two weather systems:
Tropical Depression Sean remains ... for now
As of the 11 a.m. advisory, Sean’s maximum sustained wings had slowed to 30 mph and the storm was about 1,050 miles east of the northern Leeward Islands and moving west-northwest at 10 mph.
“This general motion is expected to continue through (Sunday night),” the hurricane center said. “A turn toward the west is expected on Monday. Weakening is forecast and Sean is forecast to become a remnant low later (Sunday or Sunday night), and then dissipate by late Monday.”
Nobody’s under any watches or warnings from Sean.
Waiting on AL94 in the central Atlantic Ocean
The disturbance referred to as “AL94” in the central tropical Atlantic Ocean remains several hundred miles southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands. It’s “become less organized since (Saturday),” but it still expected to be a tropical depression or storm by midweek.
Formation chance through 48 hours: 40%, down from 60% at the 8 a.m. advisory.
Formation chance through seven days: 80%, down from 90% at the 8 a.m. advisory.
