BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2021 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — The Atlantic Hurricane Season remains hopping with two new systems being watched by forecasters at the National Hurricane Center.
Sam, as of Sunday morning, appears to be turning to the north and potentially northeast, as predicted by most of the “spaghetti models” that serve as the basis for the official National Hurricane Center forecast.
It’s much too early to discuss potential paths for the systems that appear to be forming. The two of note — near Africa — have a 60 and 30 percent chance of becoming tropical cyclones over the next five days.
This is the Sunday morning outlook from the National Hurricane Center.

A tropical wave is expected to move off the west coast of Africa on Monday.

A broad area of low pressure could form over the eastern or central tropical Atlantic early this week, to the west of the tropical wave that will be moving off the coast of Africa.
