Meteorologists are eyeing two systems in the Atlantic Ocean this week as favourable conditions present some potential for them to develop further into major storms.

The first system, a tropical wave located

just south of Florida, has a greater than 40 per cent chance of developing into

a tropical depression within the next five days, according to the National

Hurricane Center in Miami.

Out in the Atlantic Ocean, the second threat, a low-pressure system designated Invest99L, has a greater than 60 per cent chance of developing further in the next 48 hours as it approaches the Leeward Islands.

Today on The Weather Channel, we’re keeping our eyes on two tropical threats: an area to watch south of Florida, which has a 40% chance of development, and Invest 99L farther out in the Atlantic, which has a 60% chance of development. — The Weather Channel (@weatherchannel)

“Environmental conditions are expected to

be somewhat conducive for development, and a tropical depression could form

during the next day or two while the low moves westward at around 10 mph over

the tropical Atlantic. By the weekend, however, less favourable conditions should

limit additional development,” the NHC noted in its 8:00 am weather forecast

regarding Invest99L.

According to the Florida-based NHC, a

gradual development of the tropical wave just south of the US state is possible

as it is forecast to move west-northwestward during the next few days.

A disturbance moving into the Gulf of Mexico could form into a tropical depression. Another system in the Atlantic is also being monitored for development. Here’s the latest: — The Weather Channel (@weatherchannel)

“This system is expected to move over the

southeastern Gulf of Mexico later today, the central Gulf on Wednesday, and the

northwestern Gulf on Thursday and Friday,” the weather watchdog indicated.
