BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2026 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — The exceptionally quiet Atlantic Hurricane Season is quiet no more. There are two systems being watched Sunday by the National Hurricane Center. Neither pose an immediate threat to anyone, but both systems show signs of development.
Here is the Sunday Tropical Weather Outlook from the NHC: For the North Atlantic…Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
Central Tropical Atlantic
A broad area of showers and thunderstorms associated with a tropical wave is located several hundred miles west-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands. Some gradual development of this system is possible during the early to middle part of this week while it moves westward across the central tropical Atlantic. Upper-level winds are expected to become less conducive for development later in the week when the system approaches the Lesser Antilles.
- Formation chance through 48 hours…low…near 0 percent.
- Formation chance through 7 days…low…20 percent.
Eastern and Central Tropical Atlantic
Another tropical wave is expected to move off the west coast of Africa early this week. Environmental conditions are forecast to be conducive for gradual development thereafter and a tropical depression could form during the latter half of this week while the system moves generally westward across the eastern and central tropical Atlantic.
- Formation chance through 48 hours…low…near 0 percent.
- Formation chance through 7 days…medium…40 percent.
