ORLANDO, Fla. – The National Hurricane Center is watching three areas of interest Tuesday morning, all with medium-to-high odds of becoming the next tropical depression or storm.
First, meteorologists are looking at a broad trough of low pressure, which is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms about 900 miles west-northwest of the Cabo Verde Islands, according to the NHC’s 8 a.m. update.
Not much development is in store for the short-term forecast. Still, Atlantic conditions increase favorably later this week, giving this disturbance a 20% chance of forming into a tropical depression in the next two days and a 60% chance of doing so in the next five.
