NHC Tracking Potential Tropical Cyclone in Atlantic

The National Hurricane Center in Miami has posted a bulletin that it is tracking “a large low pressure system located about 1025 miles west-southwest of the Cape Verde Islands.”

The NHC said the system has “changed little during the past several hours. However, environmental conditions are expected to remain conducive for additional development of this disturbance as it moves west-northwestward to northwestward at about 15 mph [24 kph].”

The bulletin also said that “there remains a high chance…60 percent…of this system becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours.”
