BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2023 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — The Atlantic hurricane season ends in just days but there are now two systems being watched by the National Hurricane Center. Neither is expected to pose a threat to Florida — unless anything changes — but they are notable as they remind that global warming has dramatically changed what happens, when, and where.
This is the Monday afternoon update from the National Hurricane Center:
Tropical Weather Outlook NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 100 PM EST Mon Nov 20 2023. For the North Atlantic… Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
Central Caribbean Sea (AL99): Earlier satellite wind data indicated that a small but well-defined area of low pressure in the central Caribbean Sea was producing winds of 25-30 mph. However, the associated shower and thunderstorm activity with this system remains disorganized, and nearby dry air is forecast to prevent much additional development as the system begins to drift slowly westward over the next few days. * Formation chance through 48 hours…low…10 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days…low…10 percent.
Central Subtropical Atlantic: An area of low pressure is developing along a frontal boundary just to the southeast of Bermuda. This non-tropical low is forecast to move southeastward across the central subtropical Atlantic over warmer sea surface temperatures during the next few days, and environmental conditions appear conducive for this system to gradually acquire tropical characteristics. A subtropical or tropical storm could form by the latter part of this week, as the system continues moving eastward followed by a turn northeastward by the weekend.
* Formation chance through 48 hours…low…10 percent. * Formation chance through 7 days…medium…40 percent.
