ORLANDO, Fla. – The National Hurricane Center is highlighting two areas in the Atlantic.
A non-tropical area of low pressure is developing several hundred miles south of Nova Scotia.
Some subtropical or tropical development could occur as it crosses over the warm waters of the Gulf Stream.
The National Hurricane Center currently gives this entity a 10% chance for development over the next two days and seven days.
This is not a threat to land.
Meanwhile, in the central Atlantic, a tropical wave is continuing to move west.
Some gradual development is possible over the next several days.
The system is expected to impact the Windward Islands this weekend and enter the Caribbean Sea by the early-middle part of next week.
There is great uncertainty in the long-term future of this disturbance. If the disturbance is strong entering the Caribbean, it has a better chance to turn in the northeast Caribbean.
If the system takes longer to organize, closer to Jamaica, the system will have the opportunity to become strong and lift north.
If the storm takes even longer to consolidate, it will likely remain weak and move west towards Central America.
There is a 30% chance for development over the next seven days.
The next two names of the 2025 hurricane season are Melissa and Nestor. Hurricane season runs through Nov. 30.
