The five day tropical outlook map above shows regions where systems may develop. At least one tropical wave shows a 90 percent chance of formation over the next five days.

There is currently nothing to worry about for Palm Beach County or all of Florida. But keeping an eye on the tropics if you live in an area potentially impacted by hurricanes is always important this time of year.

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
200 PM EDT Sat Sep 5 2020

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical 
Depression Omar, located about 600 miles northeast of Bermuda.

1. A tropical wave and area of low pressure located over the eastern 
tropical Atlantic continues to produce a large area of 
disorganized showers and thunderstorms.  Gradual development of 
this system is expected while it moves westward to 
west-northwestward, and a tropical depression is likely to form late 
this weekend or early next week when the system reaches the central 
tropical Atlantic.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...60 percent. 
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent.

2. A tropical wave located over the east-central Caribbean Sea is 
producing an area of showers and thunderstorms.  Some slight 
development of this system is possible during the next couple of 
days before upper-level winds become unfavorable for formation.  
This wave is expected to move westward across the central and 
western Caribbean Sea during the next few days.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent. 
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...10 percent.

3. Another tropical wave located inland over western Africa is 
forecast to move offshore on Sunday.  Gradual development of this 
system is then expected, and a tropical depression is likely to 
form by the middle of next week while it moves generally westward 
over the far eastern tropical Atlantic. 
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent. 
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...80 percent.
