Tropical Weather Outlook:
Central Tropical Atlantic:
A tropical wave over the eastern tropical Atlantic continues to produce a broad area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms.
A tropical depression could form late this week or over the weekend as the system moves generally west-northwestward to northwestward across the central tropical and subtropical Atlantic.
Formation chance through 48 hours is 20%; through 7 days, 60%.
Monitoring the tropics: The Global Tropics Hazards Outlook highlights an increased potential for tropical cyclone development in our area.
This doesn’t mean a system is headed our way, but it’s a good time to review your emergency plan once again.
