WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — The National Hurricane Center (NHC) continues to track two areas for possible development in the Atlantic.
A tropical wave offshore the caost of Africa is producing disorganized storms. Conditions are generally conducive for development as the system continues to move west-northwest across the Atlantic. The NHC is currently giving this system a 20% chance of development over the next seven days.
A system with a more likely chance of developing is located around 800 mile southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands. The NHC says a tropical depression will likely form within the next couple of days as the system moves west to west-northwest in the central tropical Atlantic. This system currently has a 70% chance of development over the next 48 hours.
The WPTV First Alert Weather team will continue to monitor the tropics and provide continuous updates.
