BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2023 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — It is now “peak hurricane system” and the latest update from the National Hurricane Center suggests the name for this time of year is correct. There are now four systems churning in the Atlantic. Hurricane Lee remains a major hurricane and is turning to the north. Tropical Storm Margot is not expected to be much of anything for the U.S. Mainland. And now there are two more. Here is the latest from the NHC.
Tropical Weather Outlook NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 200 PM EDT Sun Sep 10 2023
For the North Atlantic… Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
Active Systems: The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane Lee, located a few hundred miles north-northeast of the northern Leeward Islands, and on Tropical Storm Margot, located over the central subtropical Atlantic.
1. Eastern Tropical Atlantic (AL97): Shower and thunderstorm activity associated with a weak area of low pressure, located a few hundred miles to the southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands remains disorganized. Environmental conditions are forecast to become less conducive for development during the next day or so as the disturbance moves slowly westward over the eastern tropical Atlantic. The system is forecast to merge with a larger tropical wave to its east in a couple of days and no further development is expected after that time. * Formation chance through 48 hours…low…20 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days…low…20 percent.
2. Eastern and Central Tropical Atlantic: A tropical wave located over the far eastern tropical Atlantic just west of the coast of Africa is producing disorganized cloudiness and showers. Environmental conditions appear conducive for some gradual development of this system during the latter part of this week as it moves westward to west-northwestward at 15 to 20 mph over the central tropical Atlantic. * Formation chance through 48 hours…low…near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days…medium…40 percent.
