The National Hurricane Center is monitoring an area of disturbed weather east of Florida, giving it a 10% chance of becoming a tropical depression in the next 48 hours.
In its Tropical Weather Outlook at 2 p.m. on Sunday, the hurricane center said the broad low pressure area “is producing an area a large area of disturbed weather extendinga couple hundred miles northeast of the Bahamas.”
The NHC noted, “environmental conditions are expected to become less favorable later today [Sunday] and development of this system is not expected as it moves generallynorth-northeastward over the southwestern Atlantic at 5 to 10 mph during the next couple of days.”
In addition to giving the system a 10% chance of developing into a depression in the next 48 hours, it also placed the same odds for its development over the next seven days.
Hurricane Center begins daily tropical updates; Oops, we already had 1 storm
Hurricane season does not officially start until June 1, but that doesn’t mean we could not have a named tropical storm or hurricane before then.
From 2015 to 2021, a named storm formed before June 1. Also, the hurricane center said earlier this month that upon review, we already had what should have been a named storm in January.
