BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is currently tracking multiple systems across the Atlantic basin, including Hurricane Gabrielle, located several hundred miles west of the Azores, and Tropical Storm Humberto, moving over the subtropical central Atlantic.
In addition, forecasters are closely watching a developing disturbance in the central Caribbean Sea and southwestern Atlantic, designated as AL94.
Showers and thunderstorms have been increasing in association with a tropical wave near Hispaniola and the Turks and Caicos Islands.
According to the NHC, an area of low pressure is expected to form along the wave tonight or early Friday as it approaches the southeast Bahamas. This low is forecast to strengthen into a tropical depression by late Friday or over the weekend, potentially tracking northwestward or northward across the Bahamas and into the southwestern Atlantic.
Residents in the Dominican Republic, Haiti, the Turks and Caicos Islands, and the Bahamas are urged to monitor the system’s progress.
Regardless of development, heavy rainfall and gusty winds are expected to impact those regions over the next several days.
Forecasters caution that while the long-range track and intensity remain uncertain, the likelihood of wind, rainfall, and storm surge impacts for parts of the southeastern United States is increasing. Coastal communities in the region are advised to remain alert and prepared for potential advisories.
The NHC gives the disturbance a high chance of development—80 percent within the next 48 hours and 90 percent over the next seven days.
The system in the Caribbean will be named ‘Imelda’ when it eventually becomes a tropical storm.
