Atlantic Disturbance Tracked as Hurricane Season Approaches

The National Hurricane Center has identified a large area of disturbed weather in the Atlantic Ocean, marking the "first area of interest" this hurricane season. The system is poorly organized and located a couple of hundred miles northeast of the central Bahamas. Strong upper-level winds and dry air are expected to prevent development while the system moves generally north-northeastward at 5 to 10 mph over the southwestern Atlantic during the next couple of days. There is a 10% chance of development over the next few days, but the disturbance is unlikely to form.
