Too Soon For Concern, But Never Too Concern To Be Prepared

BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2021 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — Still too soon to be concern, but it’s never too so to be prepared as two systems are traveling in in a northwesterly direction that could bring them near Florida or the Gulf.
The system in red, above, has a 70 percent chance of forming into a tropical cyclone. The system in yellow has a ten percent chance.
The ovals show where a system may develop, not necessarily a direction of travel. They are not cones.
This is the early morning outlook from the National Hurricane Center:
- A broad area of low pressure, associated with a tropical wave, is
located about midway between the west coast of Africa and the
Windward Islands. This system is producing a large area of showers
and thunderstorms that continues to show some signs of organization.
Environmental conditions appear generally favorable for development,
and a tropical depression is likely to form during the next few
days while the system moves west-northwestward at about 20 mph.
Interests in the Windward and Leeward Islands should closely
monitor this system as it will likely be moving through that region
on Friday.
- Formation chance through 48 hours…medium…50 percent.
- Formation chance through 5 days…high…70 percent.
- Disorganized showers and thunderstorms continue in association with
a tropical wave located a couple of hundred miles east of the
Lesser Antilles. Significant development of this system is
unlikely while it moves quickly westward to west-northwestward at 20
to 25 mph, passing through the Lesser Antilles today and then across
the eastern and central Caribbean Sea later this week. Regardless
of development, this system could bring locally heavy rainfall to
portions of the Lesser Antilles during the next couple of days.
- Formation chance through 48 hours…low…10 percent.
- Formation chance through 5 days…low…10 percent.
