First Tropical Disturbance of 2024 Forms Early in Southwest Atlantic

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a disturbance in the southwest Atlantic with a 10% chance of developing into a tropical or subtropical system as it moves northeastward through the weekend. This comes just days before the official start of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, which NOAA predicts will be very active with 17-25 named storms.

NHC monitoring disturbance in northeast Atlantic.

The National Hurricane Center has identified an area of disorganized storms in the Atlantic Ocean between the Azores and the Canary Islands, with a 10% chance of development in the next two days and a 10% chance in the next seven days. The system could develop subtropical characteristics in the next couple of days, but is expected to move northeastward over cooler waters by late in the week, ending its chances of subtropical development. Tropical Storm Arlene dissipated over the weekend, marking the first named storm of the season.
