BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2024 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — We note it’s way too early to be concerned about anything related to the tropical systems you see on the map, above, in the Atlantic. But there are models that predict one or both of those systems — one is yellow, the other is in orange as of Tuesday afternoon — could possibly take a path that would be of concern for the Florida peninsula. At this point, it’s just time to remain aware of what these systems are doing. We note Francine is expected to become a hurricane and head towards Louisiana later this week. For now, we are focusing on the systems in the Atlantic. This is the Tuesday afternoon update from the National Hurricane Center:
Tropical Weather Outlook NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL Issued by the NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 200 PM EDT Tue Sep 10 2024. For the North Atlantic… Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
Active Systems: The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical Storm Francine, located in the western Gulf of Mexico offshore of northeastern Mexico.
Central Tropical Atlantic (AL92): An elongated area of low pressure located over the central tropical Atlantic continues to produce some disorganized shower and thunderstorm activity. Environmental conditions appear only marginally conducive for some slight development during the next couple of days, but a tropical depression could still form during that time while the system moves westward at 5 to 10 mph over the central tropical Atlantic. Formation chance through 48 hours…low…30 percent. Formation chance through 7 days…low…30 percent.
Eastern and Central Tropical Atlantic: A trough of low pressure over the eastern tropical Atlantic is producing a large but disorganized area of showers and thunderstorms from near the Cabo Verde Islands extending southwestward for several hundred miles. Environmental conditions appear favorable for gradual development of this system, and a tropical depression will likely form during the latter part of this week while the system moves west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph. Formation chance through 48 hours…medium…40 percent. Formation chance through 7 days…high…80 percent.
