MOVING WEST TOWARDS UNITED STATES MAINLAND.
BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2025 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — The red oval above on the National Hurricane Center map for Monday is expected to become a tropical depression within a day or so. After that, it could become Tropical Storm Erin as it continues a westward track. An oval indicates where a system may form, not necessarily a direction of travel. However, forecasters Monday say it is moving in a westwardly direction. Here’s the Tropical Weather Outlook from the National Hurricane Center:
Tropical Weather Outlook NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 200 AM EDT Mon Aug 11 2025
For the North Atlantic… Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico (America):
Eastern Tropical Atlantic (AL97): Showers and thunderstorms continue to show signs of organization in association with a well-defined low pressure area located near the northwestern Cabo Verde Islands. The system will likely become a tropical depression within the next day or so while it moves generally westward. Locally heavy rainfall and gusty winds are expected to continue today across portions of the Cabo Verde Islands, and interests there should monitor the progress of this system.
Even if a tropical depression does not form over the next day or so, environmental conditions appear conducive for later development, and a tropical depression or tropical storm is expected to form by the middle to latter portion of this week while moving westward to west-northwestward at 15 to 20 mph across the eastern and central tropical Atlantic.
- Formation chance through 48 hours…high…70 percent.
- Formation chance through 7 days…high…90 percent.
Central Atlantic (AL96): Disorganized showers and thunderstorms continue in association with a trough of low pressure located over the central tropical Atlantic. Some gradual development is possible during the middle part of this week while the system moves generally northward over the central Atlantic.
- Formation chance through 48 hours…low…10 percent.
- Formation chance through 7 days…low…20 percent.
