Two disturbances in the Atlantic could turn into tropical depressions. What forecast says
2022/08/30
MIAMI — Forecasters on Tuesday are watching two disturbances in the Atlantic, both of which could potentially turn into tropical depressions later this week.
One of the disturbances was producing a large area of disorganized cloudiness and thunderstorms several hundred miles east of the Lesser Antilles, as of the National Hurricane Center’s advisory at 8 a.m. Tuesday.
The system could see gradual development over the next several days, enough for a tropical depression to form later this week, although environmental conditions are “only marginally conducive” for development, according to the hurricane center.
It has a 50% chance of formation through the next 48 hours and a high 80% chance of formation through the next five days, according to the hurricane center. The forecast shows the system slowly moving west and then west-northwest, toward the adjacent waters of the northern Leeward Islands. At the moment, it’s not a threat to Florida.
