ORLANDO, Fla. — The National Hurricane Center began tracking a system in the Atlantic east of Florida on Sunday, but by Monday afternoon said there was no chance of it forming into a tropical depression ahead of the official start of hurricane season.
In the NHC’s 2 p.m. EDT Monday tropical update, forecasters said the showers and thunderstorms of a broad area of low pressure located a couple of hundred miles northeast of the central Bahamas had decreased over the 24 hours since they first began tracking it.
“Environmental conditions have become more hostile and development of this system is not expected while it moves north-northeastward at 5 to 10 mph over the southwestern Atlantic during the next day or so,” forecasters said.
