Atlantic zone to monitor
(The possible area of tropical development according to the latest prospects of the National Hurricane Center is shown by the polygon, coded by color by the risk of development over the next seven days. A “X” indicates the location of a current disturbance.)
A low pressure zone in the North Atlantic Ocean is followed by the National Hurricane Center for the possible training of the first depression or tropical storm of the season.
The low pressure system is located about 600 miles in the east-north-east of the Bermuda and has become a little better organized since the start of the NHC on Sunday. Only a small increase in shower and thunderstorm activity could allow it to form in a Tropical One depression or an Andrea tropical storm.
The opportunity window of this system to develop is low, because environmental conditions are becoming more and more hostile on Tuesday.
The good news is that, since the location of the system is far from the land, as illustrated on the above map, it is not a threat to the United States or elsewhere.
On average (1991-2020), the first storm of the Atlantic of the season was formed by June 20, so if Andrea developed from this disturbance, it would be in time.
