NHC tags two new areas of potential tropical development

SOUTHWEST FLORIDA, (WINK) — The National Hurricane Center tagged two new areas of potential tropical development. Neither area has a likely chance of tropical development.

East of the Leeward Islands (Remnants of Dolly): A tropical wave, the remnants of Tropical Storm Dolly, are located several hundred miles east of the Leeward Islands. Redevelopment of this system is unlikely while it moves westward to west-northwestward near 25 mph. The wave could bring locally heavy rains and gusty winds to portions of the Leeward Islands, the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico over the next several days.

• Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
• Formation chance through 7 days...low...10 percent.

Northeastern and North-Central Gulf of America:

Disorganized cloudiness and showers over portions of the northeastern and north-central Gulf of America are associated with a weak area of low pressure. Development, if any, of this system is expected to be slow while it remains nearly stationary for the next several days.

• Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
• Formation chance through 7 days...low...10 percent.
