NHC Continues To Keep Watch Over Tropical Atlantic

The National Hurricane Center continues to watch two areas in the tropics for possible development.

"A trough of low pressure located near the Windward Islands is producing disorganized shower and thunderstorm activity," forecasters said Thursday. "This system is expected to move westward at about 15 mph during the next several days, and environmental conditions could become more conducive for slow development when it moves across the central and western Caribbean Sea early next week."

"A tropical wave located between the west coast of Africa and the Cabo Verde Islands is producing a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms," the NHC added. "Environmental conditions could support some slow development of this system through early next week while it moves westward across the eastern and central tropical Atlantic at 15 to 20 mph."

There is no immediate threat to Louisiana.

The 2022 Atlantic hurricane season is currently entering its statistical peak and will run through November 30.
