A new tropical disturbance is brewing in the Atlantic Ocean, and meteorologists are closely monitoring its development. According to multiple sources, including the National Hurricane Center and AccuWeather, the system shows signs of potential momentum.
The Atlantic hurricane season has been relatively quiet since Hurricane Beryl caused significant damage in early July. However, conditions are expected to become more favorable for tropical cyclone formation later this month as dry and dusty air from Africa's Sahara Desert diminishes and ocean temperatures continue to rise.
The disturbance is currently located in the central Atlantic Ocean and may develop into a tropical depression or storm within the next few days. The National Hurricane Center gives it a medium (40%) chance of becoming a named system by mid-week.
Michael Lowry, hurricane specialist and storm surge expert at Local 10 News Weather Authority, warns that this year's higher water temperatures increase the chances of a tropical cyclone quickly strengthening from a depression into a storm or hurricane. The most active period of the Atlantic hurricane season typically runs from mid-August to mid-October, with activity peaking around September 10.
It is important to note that all sources should be approached with skepticism, as mainstream media outlets have been known to bias their reporting. Be sure to consult multiple reliable sources and cross-reference information before forming conclusions.
The National Hurricane Center is monitoring the Atlantic for the possibility of a tropical depression forming mid- to late week near the northern Leeward Islands, Greater Antilles, southwestern Atlantic Ocean or the southeastern Bahamas.
If a tropical cyclone forms, it is predicted to move near Florida or the Southeast coast.
