Hurricane center increases odds to 50% for Atlantic disturbance becoming a tropical depression

ORLANDO, Fla. — The National Hurricane Center has got its eye on an area of disturbance with a 50% chance of becoming the 21st named storm of the 2021 Atlantic hurricane season.

A non-tropical low pressure system emerged over night 250 miles east-northeast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, with gale-force winds, the NHC said in its 8 a.m. update.

Meteorologists are expecting the gale area to move north-northeastward and could acquire some limit subtropical characteristics before colliding with a front this afternoon.
