Tropics Update: Hurricane center highlights area of interest off Florida

Environment expected to become marginally conducive for development

ORLANDO, Fla. – The National Hurricane Center on Monday highlighted a new area of interest off the Florida coast.

A weak trough of low pressure is located a few hundred miles south of Bermuda.

Environmental conditions are expected to become marginally conducive for some gradual development of this system as it moves toward the southeastern U.S. later this week and into the weekend.

The European model curves the system away from Florida and toward the Carolinas.

The GFS model takes the disturbance into Central Florida.

Neither model gets the storm very strong at this point, but it’s something to watch.

The next named storm of the 2023 hurricane season is Emily.

Hurricane season runs through November.
