BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2024 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — The National Hurricane Center Friday afternoon says the new system southeast of the Florida peninsula now has a 60–percent chance of development over the next seven days. It’s still too early to be concerned. The initial “path” does seem to include the State of Florida. Here is the Friday afternoon update from the National Hurricane Center:
Tropical Weather Outlook NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 200 PM EDT Fri Aug 9 2024
For the North Atlantic… Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico: Active Systems: The Weather Prediction Center is issuing advisories on Post-Tropical Cyclone Debby, located inland over the northeastern United States.
Near the Lesser and Greater Antilles: A large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms located well to the west-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands over the tropical Atlantic is associated with a tropical wave. Any development of the wave should be slow to occur during the next couple of days while it moves westward to west-northwestward across the central tropical Atlantic. Conditions are expected to become more conducive for development thereafter, and a tropical depression could form by early next week while the system approaches and then moves near or over the Lesser Antilles. The system is forecast to continue moving generally west-northwestward and could approach portions of the Greater Antilles by the middle part of next week. Formation chance through 48 hours…low…near 0 percent. Formation chance through 7 days…medium…60 percent.
