As the hurricane season passes its peak, the Atlantic is showing signs of activity.
The National Hurricane Center is watching an area in the central subtropical Atlantic for potential development.
"A trough of low pressure located a little more than 1000 miles east-southeast of Bermuda continues to produce disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions over the system are currently unfavorable for development due to strong upper-level winds," the NHC said Monday morning.
"However, as the system moves west-northwestward across the central part of the Subtropical Atlantic, it is forecast to enter a more conducive environment for gradual development by the middle to latter portion of this week," forecasters continued.
Five named storms have formed this season, but none have reached hurricane status. If and when one forms, it will be the latest to do so in the satellite era.
Impacts from a strong El Niño have quieted the tropics this year.
The hurricane season ends November 30.
