We're watching three other areas over the Atlantic basin on the Sunday evening for potential development. They are:
1) A tropical wave is expected to emerge off the west coast of Africa on Monday. Environmental conditions are forecast to be conducive for some gradual development of this system thereafter, and a tropical depression could form later this week while it moves westward at 10 to 15 mph across the eastern tropical Atlantic Ocean. It has a low (20 percent) chance of formation during the next 48 hours and a medium (60 percent) chance during the next five days.
2) A non-tropical area of low pressure is located over the far northeastern Atlantic, located a few hundred miles east of the Azores. Significant development of this system appears unlikely during the next day or so while it moves slowly eastward. By late Tuesday, the system is forecast to move inland over Portugal. It has a low (10 percent) chance of formation during the next 48 hours and five days.
3) An area of low pressure is forecast to form by midweek a couple of hundred miles north of the southeastern or central Bahamas as a tropical wave interacts with an upper-level trough. Some gradual development of this system is possible thereafter, and a tropical depression could form later this week while the system moves north-northwestward or northward across the western Atlantic. It has a near zero chance of formation during the next 48 hours and medium (50 percent) chance during the next five days. www.hurricanes.gov
