The National Hurricane Center (NHC) says the remnants of what was once Tropical Storm Cindy are no longer expected to develop into a new tropical system. But now they’re keeping their eye on a new disturbance that has formed off its heels.
The weak trough of low pressure that was associated with Cindy’s remnants was located about 400 miles south-southwest of Bermuda and was producing disorganized shower and thunderstorm activity, the NHC said.
Over the past several days, the NHC was giving the system a chance of developing into a new tropical depression (Tropical Depression Five) or even Tropical Storm Don. However, the NHC said the redevelopment of the system is no longer expected because of strong upper-level winds.
HERE ARE THE BUZZWORDS YOU’LL BE HEARING DURING HURRICANE SEASON
On the other hand, the NHC is now monitoring a new tropical disturbance spinning over the Atlantic Ocean on the heels of Cindy’s remnants.
The area of disturbed weather, which is associated with a surface trough, formed about 400 miles south-southeast of Bermuda, the NHC said.
HOW TO PREPARE FOR HURRICANE SEASON
Forecasters say upper-level winds are marginally conducive to the slow development of the system over the next few days while it moves to the north at around 5 mph.
The NHC is giving the system a 10% chance of developing over the next 48 hours and a 20% chance of developing over the next seven days.
