HURRICANE CENTER: That System Very East Of Florida Is Still Developing

BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2026 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — It’s nothing to lose sleep over at this point, but that system very far east of Florida continues to develop. That development may be short-lived, according to the National Hurricane Center in the Monday afternoon update as published on BocaNewsNow.com:

Eastern Tropical Atlantic

An elongated area of low pressure centered a few hundred miles west of the Cabo Verde Islands continues to produce a large but disorganized area of showers and thunderstorms occurring on its east side, extending toward the westernmost Cabo Verde Islands.

Environmental conditions appear, at best, only marginally conducive for development of this system during the next day or so before upper-level winds become too strong for any further development on Tuesday. Regardless, heavy rainfall is expected to continue for the next day or two across western portions of the Cabo Verde Islands, and some flooding is possible there as the system moves slowly northward to north-northwestward.

• Formation chance through 48 hours…low…20 percent.
• Formation chance through 7 days…low…20 percent.
