BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2026 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — That orange oval southeast of Florida has a 60-percent chance of being the area where a tropical system develops within the seven days — that’s according to the National Hurricane Center Monday afternoon. Here’s the complete NHC update:
For the North Atlantic…Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
Central Subtropical Atlantic (AL95)
Satellite-wind data indicate that the low-level circulation remains broad in association with an area of low pressure centered a few hundred miles east-southeast of Bermuda. Environmental conditions are only marginally conducive for further development, but this system could become a short-lived tropical depression or storm through Tuesday while it moves northward and north-northeastward, well northeast of Bermuda. By Wednesday, the low is forecast to move over cold waters, ending its formation chances.
- Formation chance through 48 hours…medium…50 percent.
- Formation chance through 7 days…medium…50 percent.
Eastern Tropical Atlantic
A tropical wave and associated area of low pressure is centered a few hundred miles southeast of the Cabo Verde islands and is accompanied by disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions are forecast to gradually become more conducive for development, and a tropical depression could form by the middle to latter portions of the week while the system moves westward to west-northwestward at 15 to 20 mph across the eastern and central tropical Atlantic.
- Formation chance through 48 hours…low…30 percent.
- Formation chance through 7 days…medium…60 percent.
