Four disturbances in the Atlantic Ocean have the potential to impact Florida in the near future. These disturbances are currently being monitored by meteorologists for any development into tropical cyclones. Although the exact path and intensity of these systems remain uncertain, residents are advised to stay informed and prepared. The National Hurricane Center is closely monitoring these disturbances and will provide updates as necessary. It is essential for residents and visitors to heed any warnings or evacuation orders issued by local authorities to ensure their safety..
While Hurricane Hilary has made headlines for its Category Four status in the Pacific, the National Hurricane Center also updated its map of four disturbances in the Atlantic Ocean Friday as Floridians brace for the fall storm season.
Disturbance 4 was mapped just above Hispaniola and is forecast to move into the Gulf of Mexico early next week. While it is the closest disturbance to Florida, the NHC gives it a “near 0 percent” chance of cyclone formation within 48 hours and a 30% chance within the next week.
The NHC marked another low-pressure northeast of French Guiana, Disturbance 3, moving northwestward at 10 to 15 mph, with a 10% chance of formation within 48 hours and a 30% chance within the week.
The two disturbances on the NHC’s radar are currently located in the central tropics of the Atlantic Ocean – between West Africa and Barbados – and are forecast to head northwest in Florida’s direction.
Disturbance 2, closer to the Americas, has a 40% chance of cyclone formation within a week, but its “environmental conditions are only marginally conducive for further development,” according to the NHC.
Disturbance 1 is the farthest away from Florida but has the highest chance of Cyclone formation – 70% within seven days. The NHC forecasts that its environmental conditions appear favorable for additional development.
A storm reaches “cyclone” status when it becomes either a tropical depression – with maximum sustained winds of 38 mph; a tropical storm with maximum sustained winds of 39 to 73 mph; or a hurricane – with maximum sustained winds of 74 mph or greater.
Neither the National Hurricane Center nor the Florida Division of Emergency Management immediately responded for comment as of Friday afternoon.
