Tropical wave causing interest in Caribbean gets ‘more organised’
That tropical wave was "more organised” on Sunday, September 3, 2023, producing showers and thunderstorms several hundred miles southwest of Africa’s Cabo Verde Islands.
The disturbance is expected to become a tropical depression this week as it moves west-northwestward between 15 and 20 mph over the eastern and central Atlantic, according to the latest advisory from the National Hurricane Center (NHC).
Chances of development favourable
As of 8:00 AM Sunday, it was given an 80% chance of developing in the next seven days and saw its 48-hour chances bump up to 40%, each a steady rise from Saturday.
Also on Sunday, forecasters began watching for another tropical wave to emerge off Africa this week. It is forecast to take a similar path, potentially developing slowly this week as it moves to the west-northwest over the far eastern Atlantic.
The NHC, which operates under the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration, has forecast 14-21 named storms, including 6-11 hurricanes, and two to five major hurricanes.
As of Sept. 3, there have been three hurricanes — Don, Franklin and Idalia, the latter two of which were major hurricanes.
The next named storm to form would be Lee.
