"2024 Atlantic Hurricane Season: 5 Tropical Waves Threaten Florida"

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring five tropical waves in the Atlantic, none of which are expected to develop into tropical cyclones this week. However, these waves could bring tropical moisture to Florida, potentially marking the start of the summer rainy season. Forecasters predict an above-average hurricane season with up to 25 named storms.

"2024 Atlantic Hurricane Season: Major Storms and Rising Anxiety"

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring five tropical waves as the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season begins, with no immediate tropical activity expected. AccuWeather forecasters warn of tropical downpours in the Caribbean, with a slight chance of storm formation. The season is predicted to be very active, with up to 25 named storms expected, driven by La Niña and record-warm water. Florida residents are advised to stay prepared and monitor updates.

Tropical Waves and Disturbances: NHC Tracking Atlantic Developments

Multiple strong tropical waves are expected to move off the coast of Africa this week, with one already present in the extreme eastern Atlantic. While the current wave may struggle to develop due to dry air, there are 2 to 3 additional waves behind it that have a higher likelihood of becoming the next tropical depression or tropical storm. These waves are still thousands of miles away, allowing for ample time to monitor their development.

NHC Monitoring Potential Tropical Storm in Atlantic

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a disturbance in the Central Atlantic that could potentially develop into a subtropical or tropical depression or storm over the next few days. Three tropical waves are also being watched. While warm water and light winds may aid in tropical development, the system is expected to move into cooler waters, limiting further development. It is too early to determine if there will be any impact on the U.S. from the disturbance or tropical waves. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, with the peak of the season occurring around September 10.

Multiple Tropical Waves Tracked by NHC in Atlantic and Caribbean

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring four tropical waves in the Atlantic basin, but no tropical development is expected in the next seven days. The waves are moving off the west coast of Africa into the Atlantic, but the presence of Saharan dust and strong wind shear make it unlikely for a tropical system to form. It is too early to determine if there will be any impact on the U.S., and residents are advised to continue monitoring the tropics and staying prepared. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, with the peak of the season occurring on September 10.

NHC Monitoring Multiple Tropical Waves, Potential for July Hurricane in Florida

The tropics are currently quiet, but forecasters are monitoring three tropical waves as unusually high water temperatures in the Atlantic could lead to more tropical cyclones than originally forecasted. Activity may pick up in mid-July, and experts are predicting a more active hurricane season due to the warming of the eastern Atlantic and the wavering strength of El Niño. It is still too early to determine if the tropical waves will impact the US, but residents are urged to stay prepared and monitor the tropics. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, with the peak of the season occurring on September 10.

NHC Monitoring Multiple Tropical Waves for Potential Hurricanes in Florida

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring four tropical waves in the Atlantic basin, with two located in the Caribbean Sea. Dry air and strong wind shear have kept the tropics quiet, but conditions could change early this month. No new tropical cyclones are expected in the next seven days, providing a calm week for Floridians. It is too early to determine if there will be any impact on the US from these tropical waves. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, with the peak of the season occurring on September 10.

Stormy weather forecast for Central Florida.

Monday is a Storm Alert Day in Orlando due to the potential for heavy rain, strong wind gusts, hail, and isolated tornadoes between 2 p.m. and 9 p.m. The FOX 35 Storm Team is also monitoring conditions for localized flooding. Temperatures will reach the low-90s before the rain arrives, and rain chances are on the rise each day this week. The team is also monitoring two tropical waves, with one likely to form into a tropical depression or storm later today or tonight.

Multiple Tropical Waves Being Monitored by NHC for Potential Development in Atlantic Basin

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a new disturbance in the eastern Atlantic, along with four other tropical waves in the Atlantic basin. Environmental conditions are favorable for gradual development of the new disturbance, which is forecast to move off the west coast of Africa later today and early Friday. While it's too early to determine if there will be any impact to the U.S., forecasters are keeping an eye on waters surrounding Central America and southern Mexico during the third and fourth week of June. El Niño, which usually suppresses Atlantic hurricane activity, may not have as much of an impact this year due to record hot Atlantic water temperatures.

NHC monitors multiple tropical waves in Atlantic and Caribbean.

The National Hurricane Center is tracking four tropical waves in the Atlantic basin, including one in the Caribbean. No tropical cyclone development is expected over the next seven days. AccuWeather meteorologists are tracking the potential for activity to increase in the western Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico later this month, pointing to several factors that could foster tropical development. It's too early to determine if there will be any impact to the U.S. from the tropical waves. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 through Nov. 30.

NHC monitors multiple tropical waves in early season.

Several tropical waves have been spotted in the Atlantic from Africa to Panama, but none are expected to develop due to strong wind shear. As we enter July, the warmest waters on record in the tropical Atlantic will interact with these waves, and the interplay between a strong El Niño and record Atlantic warmth makes the 2023 hurricane season more of a cliffhanger than usual.

NHC monitors multiple tropical waves in early season.

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring four tropical waves, including two in the Caribbean Sea, but no tropical cyclone development is expected over the next seven days. AccuWeather meteorologists are tracking the potential for activity to increase in the western Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico later this month. While there is nothing imminent, experts recommend residents and those with vacation plans in potential trouble spots to stay vigilant. El Niño, which usually helps to suppress Atlantic hurricane activity, may not happen this year due to record hot Atlantic water temperatures that would counteract the El Niño winds that normally decapitate many storms.
