ORLANDO, Fla. – There are less than two months until hurricane season officially ends, but the tropics still some have activity.
Hurricane Lorenzo has maximum sustained winds of 90 mph as it moves northeast at 40 mph and impacts the Azores.
Meanwhile, a broad area of low pressure over the northwestern Caribbean Sea continues to produce disorganized showers and thunderstorms.
"Any development of the system would impact the Yucatán Peninsula and then eventually move into the southern Gulf of Mexico by Friday," News 6 meteorologist Troy Bridges said.
The National Hurricane Center says there's a 20% chance of development over the next five days.
And an area of disorganized cloudiness and storms southeast of Bermuda no longer has any chance of development.
The next named storm will be called Melissa.
Hurricane season runs through November.
