ORLANDO, Fla. — One system in the Atlantic Ocean with potential to form into a tropical or subtropical depression or storm was under close watch by the National Hurricane Center on Sunday, as the end of hurricane season grew closer.
As of 1 p.m., the nontropical low pressure system was becoming more organized in the far east Atlantic and moving toward the Canary Islands, producing showers and thunderstorms near Africa.
Forecasters described it as "strong and large." It poses no threat to Florida or the U.S. at large.
