The National Hurricane Center began tracking a system in the Atlantic east of Florida with a small chance of forming into a tropical depression ahead of the official start of hurricane season.
In the NHC’s 8 a.m. 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 was still poorly organized after initially eyeing the system on Sunday.
“Strong upper-level winds and dry air are expected to prevent development while the system moves generally north-northeastward at 5 to 10 mph over the southwestern Atlantic during the next day or so,” forecasters said.
