Hurrricane Erin is expected to bring life-threatening surf and dangerous rip currents along the U.S. East Coast this week.
We’re watching three other areas of interest in the central and eastern Atlantic behind Erin with development potential in the coming days.
What You Need To Know
- Three disturbances are being watched, one with high chances to develop
- Conditions will become more favorable later this week
- The next name on the list is Fernand
A tropical wave in the central tropical Atlantic is moving westward producing some disorganized showers and storms. Conditions will become more favorable for development in the next couple days.
A tropical depression could form late this week or this weekend as the system continues to move westward near the Leeward Islands. It has high odds (70%) to develop this week.
Another tropical wave that has emerged off the African coast will continue to move westward with medium odds for tropical development. A short-lived tropical depression could form by late week into the weekend, but conditions will become unfavorable after that.
An area of low pressure in the central tropical Atlantic has low odds for development over the next seven days.
Neither of these disturbances pose a threat to the U.S. right now.
August is one of the busier months in the hurricane season, so activity will likely pick up in the coming weeks. The next name on the list is Fernand.
