HURRICANE HEAD’S UP! Two Waves To Merge, Florida Still In Path

No Concern Yet For Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, Palm Beach County, But Watching Waves Is Key

Tropical Storms Nana, Omar Still On Map

BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) — The yellow and orange “x’s” above may very well merge and become a storm that could threaten Florida. That’s the latest from the National Hurricane Center in its extended 5 day forecast. We stress these systems — IF they grow — are several days away from being anywhere near a place that a forecast can be legitimately accurate. For now, they’re just systems to watch while serving as a reminder that this is peak hurricane season.

Meantime, Nana and Omar continue to be followed by the National Hurricane Center, but are not on a course for the United States mainland.

Here is the latest from the NHC. We can not stress more: don’t panic. Just be aware that these storms are out there.

week as it drifts generally westward over the eastern and central 
tropical Atlantic Ocean.

producing limited shower activity.  The wave is expected to merge 
with a disturbance centered a couple of hundred miles southeast of 
the Cabo Verde Islands toward the end of the week.  Gradual 
development of this system is then possible, and a tropical 
depression could form over the weekend while it moves westward over 
the eastern and central tropical Atlantic Ocean.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
