BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2022 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — The National Hurricane Center is watching a possible tropical wave that may be forming southeast of Florida. To avoid confusion, we are not going to mark the map, above, but note that the wave is in the area of 39W from the Equator to 14N. It’s moving west at 12 knots.
The wave may not develop into anything worth tracking, but its location southeast of Florida is notable, as is its general westerly direction of travel.
Meantime, Tropical Storm Julia continues to move west and poses absolutely no threat to Florida. It is expected to impact Nicaragua as hurricane early Sunday morning. It will then quickly reduce in strength to a tropical storm.
There is no other activity in the tropical Atlantic or Caribbean as of Saturday afternoon.
