Looking forward to the end of hurricane season.
Hurricane center ups odds for system to form near FloridaThe National Hurricane Center forecast an increased chance that a tropical depression or storm could form in the Atlantic and potentially threaten Florida in the next five days.
As of the NHC’s 8 p.m. tropical outlook, forecasters predict a large nontropical low pressure system will develop this weekend over the northeastern Caribbean Sea and southwestern Atlantic near Puerto Rico.
“The system is initially expected to be very broad and disorganized,” forecasters said. “However, it could begin to acquire subtropical or tropical characteristics during the early part of next week, and a subtropical or tropical depression could form during the early to middle portion of next week while the system moves generally westward to west-northwestward over the southwestern Atlantic.”
Chances for formation were increased to 50% on Friday for it to form in the next five days.
Forecasters said there is an “increasing risk” of coastal flooding, gale-force winds and heavy rainfall along much of the southeastern U.S. coast.
If it grows in strength, it could become Tropical Storm Nicole.
The NHC is also continuing to issue advisories on Tropical Depression Lisa now in the Gulf of Mexico while also monitoring a weak nontropical area of low pressure located several hundred miles east of Bermuda with only a 10% chance to form in the next couple of days into a named system in the Atlantic...........
