The National Hurricane Center is monitoring two tropical disturbances. Invest 91-L, a tropical wave near the west coast of Africa, has a 70% chance of development over the next seven days. Another system in the southeastern Gulf of Mexico has a 10% chance of development. The NHC also mentions tracking Tropical Storm Philippe.
Hurricane Nigel has formed in the Atlantic and is expected to rapidly intensify into a major Category 3 storm by Tuesday, according to the National Hurricane Center. The storm is currently a Category 1 hurricane and is located east-southeast of Bermuda. There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect. Additionally, forecasters are monitoring two other tropical disturbances in the Atlantic for potential development. One tropical wave off the west coast of Africa has a high chance of forming into a tropical depression, while an area of non-tropical low pressure off the east coast of Florida has a low chance of formation.
Hurricane Nigel has formed in the Atlantic and is expected to rapidly intensify into a major hurricane by Tuesday. It is currently located east-southeast of Bermuda and is forecasted to turn northward and then accelerate northeastward throughout the week. The National Hurricane Center is also monitoring two other disturbances in the Atlantic, including a tropical wave off the west coast of Africa and a non-tropical area of low pressure near the southeastern coast of the U.S.
The National Hurricane Center is monitoring two new tropical disturbances in the Atlantic. The first disturbance, Invest-97-L, has a 20% chance of development in the next seven days and is currently located southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands. The second disturbance near the coast of Africa has a 40% chance of development in the next seven days. The NHC is also tracking Hurricane Lee and Tropical Storm Margot as Sunday marks the peak of hurricane season.
After a period of calm, the Atlantic has become crowded with several tropical disturbances. The chances of these disturbances developing into tropical storms vary, with one likely to stay in the open Atlantic and another expected to veer into the northern Atlantic. A third disturbance may produce squalls across the West Indies, while a low pressure system in the eastern Bahamas could potentially become a rainmaker for Florida. Experts are concerned about the unusually warm waters in the Atlantic, Caribbean, and Gulf of Mexico, as well as the presence of strong wind shear, which could limit the development of these systems. The ongoing El Niño is expected to contribute to the wind shear, but its impact on the Atlantic remains uncertain.
The National Hurricane Center is tracking two tropical disturbances in the Atlantic. Invest 96L, located east of the Leeward Islands, is likely to become a tropical depression or storm soon. Invest 97L, located off the U.S. Mid-Atlantic coast, is less likely to develop into a tropical cyclone. The impacts to land from these disturbances are currently minimal, but rough surf and strong rip currents may affect the East coast beaches. Residents are advised to monitor the tropics and be prepared.
Three tropical disturbances are moving towards the west in the Atlantic, with the closest one, Bret, passing near Barbados and between Martinique and Saint Lucia. Tropical storm force winds and up to 10 inches of rain are forecast, with the risk of flash flooding. The second disturbance, Tropical Storm Cindy, is likely to miss the islands entirely. The third disturbance is a vigorous tropical wave rolling off the west coast of Africa. The 2023 hurricane season is six weeks ahead of schedule due to the warm sea surface caused by global heating. The El Niño phase is expected to limit hurricane formation and strength.
