Wilmington, NC – The National Hurricane Center is monitoring two tropical disturbances in the Atlantic Ocean this week, with one showing a high chance of developing into a tropical system.
According to the US National Weather Service Wilmington NC, the system designated AL95 in the central tropical Atlantic currently holds an 80% chance of formation over the next seven days. Forecasters say that while it is expected to strengthen, early indications suggest it will likely recurve out to sea, minimizing potential U.S. impact.
Another area of interest has formed near the Yucatán Peninsula, showing a lower chance of development—around 30 to 40%—as it drifts slowly westward into the southern Gulf of Mexico. Meteorologists note that conditions in that region could become marginally favorable for slow development later in the week.
The National Hurricane Center’s Seven-Day Graphical Tropical Weather Outlook, updated Monday afternoon, shows the two systems positioned far apart, with the central Atlantic disturbance tracking northwest and the Gulf system moving closer to land.
Residents along the Southeast and Gulf Coasts are advised to continue monitoring updates throughout the week, especially as the Atlantic hurricane season remains active through November 30.
No coastal watches or warnings are currently in effect.
