After two back-to-back hurricanes that ravaged Florida and many states in the southeastern United States, conditions in the Atlantic are a bit more tame. AccuWeather, however, warns that hurricane season isn’t over yet.
While the National Hurricane Center is tracking one tropical wave in the Atlantic basin that has a medium chance of forming through the next seven days, AccuWeather says to keep an eye on the same western Caribbean waters that spawned hurricanes Helene and Milton.
Showers and storms from this weekend could become organized and begin rotating over the coming days, which would be fueled by the record-high water surface temperatures.
Tropical Storm Leslie is gone. The NHC has stopped tracking the system as it’s fizzling out. It was last reported about 2,114 miles east of Jacksonville, heading northeast at about 24 mph on Sunday.
New tropical wave could become tropical depression through the next week
The National Hurricane Center is tracking a well-defined area of low pressure located several hundred miles west of the Cabo Verde Islands.
The system is currently sitting in a dry environment, which means the immediate chance of development is pretty low, about 10%. However, the system will move into warmer waters where it could begin development later this week, according to the NHC.
After Hurricane Milton made landfall in Florida last week — leaving millions without power, many without homes, and several dead — another system is making its way towards the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico.
Other than the new tropical system west of the Cabo Verde Islands, which is unlikely to develop over the next couple of days, the Atlantic basin appears quiet. The National Hurricane Center is also reporting on an early-season cold front moving through the Gulf of Mexico.
