BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2021 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — In what may be the grand finale to the 2021 Atlantic Hurricane Season, a system is meandering off the northeast coast of the United States.
It is unlikely to be grow to the point of generating a name, but there is the likelihood that it will affect weather today and tomorrow. If you are heading to the northeast, prepare for what me be a stormy day or two.
Otherwise, the tropics are quiet as the hurricane season may be starting to wrap up. While it officially runs through the end of November, storms forming this late in the year tend to be rare — although certainly not unprecedented.
This is the early morning update from the National Hurricane Center.
Tropical Weather Outlook NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 200 AM EDT Tue Oct 26 2021 For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico: A deepening, non-tropical low pressure system with gale-force winds is located about 250 miles east-northeast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. This gale area is forecast to move north-northeastward today, and could acquire some limited subtropical characteristics before it merges with a frontal system by this afternoon. The extratropical low is then expected to meander off the mid-Atlantic and northeast U.S. coasts tonight and Wednesday, bringing rain and wind impacts to portions of those areas. After that time, the low is expected to move eastward away from the U.S. coast, and could again acquire some subtropical characteristics while it moves eastward or southeastward over the warmer waters of the central Atlantic.
