Atlantic basin map shows three tropical areas of interest, one with a 70 percent chance of development
September 3, 2020
In this evening’s update, the National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical Storm Nana, located about 150 miles east of Belize City, Belize and Tropical Depression Omar, located a few hundred miles north of Bermuda.
Elsewhere over the Atlantic basin on this Wednesday evening, an area of low pressure is located about midway between the Windward Islands and west Africa, producing a small area of showers and thunderstorms. Some development of this system is possible this week as it drifts generally westward over the eastern and central tropical Atlantic Ocean. It has a low (30 percent) chance of formation during the next five days.
Also, a tropical wave, located just off the coast of west Africa, is producing disorganized shower and thunderstorm activity. The wave is expected to merge with a disturbance centered a couple of hundred miles southeast of the Cabo Verde Islands toward the end of the week. Gradual development of this system is then possible, and a tropical depression could form during the weekend or early next week while it moves westward over the eastern and central tropical Atlantic Ocean.
