MIAMI — Forecasters on Thursday are monitoring a disturbance in the eastern Atlantic while keeping an eye on Tropical Storm Karl, which is slowly moving in Gulf waters toward Mexico.
The disturbance in the eastern Atlantic was several hundred miles to the south of the Cabo Verde Islands early Thursday and is far from the United States, according to the National Hurricane Center. Forecasters think conditions will be “marginally favorable for some slow development” as the system moves west at 5-10 mph over Atlantic waters through early next week.
The hurricane center says the wave has no chance of formation within the next 48 hours and a low 20% chance of formation over the next five days.
