Monitoring Tropical Disturbances in the Atlantic The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is closely monitoring several tropical disturbances in the Atlantic Ocean. These disturbances are low-pressure systems that have the potential to develop into tropical depressions or tropical storms. Tropical disturbances are typically characterized by organized thunderstorms and showers, with wind speeds below 39 miles per hour. As they develop, these disturbances can rotate and become more organized, eventually reaching tropical depression or tropical storm status. The NHC is tracking two tropical disturbances in the Atlantic: one several hundred miles east of the Leeward Islands and another near the coast of North Carolina. Both disturbances are expected to move westward over the next few days. The disturbance near the Leeward Islands is showing signs of organization, including increasing cloudiness and thunderstorm activity. The NHC gives it a 20% chance of developing into a tropical depression within the next 48 hours. The disturbance near the coast of North Carolina is less organized but could still pose a threat to the southeastern United States. The NHC gives it a 10% chance of developing into a tropical depression within the next 48 hours. The NHC urges residents in areas that could be impacted by these disturbances to monitor forecasts and be prepared to take action if necessary. Tropical depressions and storms can bring strong winds, heavy rainfall, and coastal flooding.Following Tropical Disturbance Two and Invest 94L in the Atlantic, which is more likely to develop?Following Tropical Disturbance Two and Invest 94L in the Atlantic, which is more likely to develop? FOX Weather is monitoring two tropical disturbances in the Atlantic: Invest 94L and Disturbance Two. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) has increased the chances of Invest 94L becoming a storm to 40% over the next seven days. Invest 94L is located in the central Caribbean Sea, while Disturbance Two is west of Africa and has a medium chance of developing. Invest 94L Invest 94L is moving westwards at 25 mph and could potentially develop over the western Caribbean Sea or southwestern Gulf of Mexico over the weekend. Environmental conditions are becoming more conducive for development. However, the NHC gives Invest 94L a low chance of developing due to strong high pressure over the southern U.S. which could contain the disturbance. If it does develop into a tropical storm, it will be named Beryl. Invest 95L Invest 95L is located southwest of the Cape Verde Islands. It also has a medium chance of developing, but must first survive the dry and stable layer created by Saharan dust. Norcross said the system could potentially develop near the islands this weekend or early next week, as upper-level winds are forecast to support development. The NHC predicts a tropical depression could form over the tropical Atlantic towards the end of the week or weekend. Conclusion Invest 94L has a low chance of developing due to unfavorable conditions and the presence of strong high pressure over the U.S., reducing the likelihood of it affecting the United States. Invest 95L has a medium chance of developing, but must first survive the Saharan dust. Forecasters will continue to monitor the progress of both disturbances.Tropical Disturbances Monitored in Atlantic National Hurricane Center (NHC) forecasters are closely monitoring two tropical disturbances in the Atlantic Ocean for potential development. The first disturbance is located several hundred miles southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands. It has a high chance of becoming a tropical cyclone within the next 48 hours. The second disturbance is located several hundred miles east of the Lesser Antilles. It has a low chance of becoming a tropical cyclone within the next five days. NHC advises residents in the Caribbean and along the southeastern coast of the United States to monitor the progress of these disturbances. If necessary, they should be prepared to take action to protect themselves and their property from any potential impact. The next update from NHC is expected later today.
