A potential tropical system is being monitored in the central Atlantic Ocean. Forecasters emphasize that the system’s future behavior is highly unpredictable at this time.
While preliminary models suggest rainfall for Florida and nothing more, the system’s exact track and intensity will become more apparent in the coming days.
According to the National Hurricane Center (NHC), an area of disturbed weather is expected to combine with an approaching tropical wave in the coming days.
Forecasters predict conditions could become favorable for development as early as Monday, with a tropical depression potentially forming by midweek.
The system is projected to move towards the northern Leeward Islands, Greater Antilles, or the southwestern Atlantic Ocean.
While the chances of formation within the next two days are low, at near 0 percent, the probability increases to a moderate 40 percent over the next seven days.
Sebastian Daily will continue to follow the developing system and provide updates from the National Hurricane Center.
