Forecasters eye two developing systems in the Atlantic: Nana, Omar could be next up on the heels of Hurricane Laura
• The National Hurricane Center has identified two areas for potential tropical development.
• The next two names on the storm list are Nana and Omar.
• Peak hurricane season lasts from about Aug. 20 through early October.
Hello Nana and Omar?
Although the remnants of Hurricane Laura are still drenching parts of the eastern U.S. Friday, there are already concerns about more storms stirring in the Atlantic Ocean.
The National Hurricane Center has identified two areas for potential tropical development, one in the central Atlantic, the other in the eastern Atlantic.
Both have a 30% chance of development within the next five days. For the one in the central Atlantic, the hurricane center said that "some gradual development of this system is possible during the next several days while it moves westward at about 15 mph toward the eastern Caribbean islands."
For the other one, in the eastern Atlantic near the Cabo Verde Islands, "some development of this system is possible early next week when it begins to move slowly westward over the eastern and central tropical Atlantic," according to the hurricane center.
