BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2026 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — The red oval that you see southeast of Florida shows where a system is now likely to develop over the next few days. What happens after that is unclear, but there’s good news: conditions may not be good for the system to enjoy a long life.
Here is the Wednesday update from the National Hurricane Center:
For the North Atlantic…Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
Eastern Tropical Atlantic (AL96)
An area of low pressure associated with a tropical wave, located a few hundred miles south-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands, is producing showers and thunderstorms that are displaced to the southwest of its center. Environmental conditions remain somewhat favorable for development over the next couple of days, and a tropical depression is likely to form over the next day or two as the system moves westward to west-northwestward across the eastern and central tropical Atlantic. Environmental conditions are forecast to become less favorable by this weekend, potentially ending its chances for development.
- Formation chance through 48 hours…high…70 percent.
- Formation chance through 7 days…high…70 percent.
Central Subtropical Atlantic (AL95)
A trough of low pressure located several hundred miles northeast of Bermuda is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Recent scatterometer wind data indicate that the circulation remains elongated and broad. Environmental conditions are becoming increasingly hostile, and development is no longer expected.
