(BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2026 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — There is just one system now of note SE of Florida, according to the National Hurricane Center on Saturday. Earlier this week there were three. Even as ‘peak hurricane season’ approaches, it appears predictions of this being an extremely calm season were correct. We do note that there is one area being watched in the Caribbean, but it has a zero percent chance of becoming anything as of now. Here is the Saturday update from the NHC:
>> The National Hurricane Center’s 8 a.m. Saturday tropical weather outlook covers the North Atlantic, Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico.
Southeastern Caribbean Sea (AL92)
A tropical wave over the southeastern Caribbean Sea is producing gusty winds and an area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Development of this system is not expected due to strong upper-level winds and dry air. Gusty winds and areas of heavy rain are still possible across portions of the Lesser Antilles today.
- Formation chance through 48 hours…low…near 0 percent.
- Formation chance through 7 days…low…near 0 percent.
Central Tropical Atlantic (AL94)
A tropical wave over the central tropical Atlantic about midway between the Cabo Verde Islands and the Lesser Antilles continues to produce disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Limited development of this system is possible over the next day or two before the system encounters strong upper-level winds to the east of the Lesser Antilles.
- Formation chance through 48 hours…low…10 percent.
- Formation chance through 7 days…low…10 percent. <<
