BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2022 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — The newly formed tropical wave east of Florida now has a 60-percent chance of becoming a tropical depression within days, says the National Hurricane Center. Where it will go and how strong it becomes remains unclear. Official tracking maps are only generated when a system reaches tropical depression strength.

Meantime, Hurricane Danielle and Tropical Storm Earl continue to churn, but pose no threat — for now — the United States Mainland, according to the latest Tropical Weather Outlook from the National Hurricane Center.

Tropical Weather Outlook NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 200 AM EDT Tue Sep 6 2022

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

Active Systems: The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane Danielle, located about 850 miles west-northwest of the Azores, and on Tropical Storm Earl, located about 650 miles south of Bermuda.

1. Eastern Tropical Atlantic: Disorganized showers and thunderstorms stretching from the Cabo Verde Islands southwestward several hundred miles are associated with a broad and elongated area of low pressure. Environmental conditions are conducive for some development of this system, and a tropical depression could form in a few days while moving westward to west-northwestward at 15 to 20 mph over the eastern and central tropical Atlantic. Upper-level winds are likely to become less conducive for development late this week.

• Formation chance through 48 hours…medium…40 percent.
• Formation chance through 5 days…medium…60 percent.
