TRACKING THE TROPICS
We are pinpointing three areas of low pressure in the tropics.
Tropical Depression Five has developed, but it will stay a “fish storm,” meaning it will remain at sea and won’t threaten any land mass.
Another low is moving closer to the Lesser Antilles. It will eventually move out to sea and also remain away from land. Currently it has a 60% chance of development over the next two days and an 80% chance over the next five days.
Another area of low pressure is off the coast of Africa, and it has a 40% chance of development over the next five days.
