BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2021 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — There is an 80 percent that a system east of Florida becomes a cyclone within 48 hours, and 90 percent chance that it happens within five days.
The system just off the coast of Africa, is still several days from being anything that Florida, or the eastern seaboard, should be concerned about — but it is certainly something to watch.
Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center are also watching a wave that has a 60 percent chance of formation over two days — and 70 percent over five days — as it appears to run parallel to the east coast.
A third system is expected to emerge from the coast of Africa over the next several days.
