Atlantic looks Busy: Third feature now on Hurricane Center's radar

Tropics Outlook

The 8 p.m. outlook from the National Hurricane Center has officially been released, and your eyes don't deceive you, there is, in fact, a third feature they're now monitoring in the Atlantic.

First things first, our two tropical waves in the tropical Atlantic have seen no major changes. The trailing wave, slated to exit the coast of Africa in the next 24 or so hours, has been given a small 10% chance of further organization in the next two days.

Chances over the next week remain the same at 50%, leaving us at code orange. 

Our lead wave has shown few signs of trying to get its act together. Because of this, NHC continues to carry the 20% low chance of formation in the next seven days. 

Finally, a broad area of non-tropical low pressure is present off the coast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. This has been given a 10% chance of formation in the next two days, and the same chance over the course of seven days. The new area is actually associated with remnants of an old cold front, which is what helped spark Arthur and Bertha earlier this season. Some development is possible as it quickly accelerates eastward away from the United States, but this window of opportunity is short. 

Stick with the WINK Weather Authority as we track the tropics alongside you, keeping you updated as we enter this somewhat busier phase out across the Atlantic.
