Miami, FL – June 14, 2024 – The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is monitoring two areas in the Atlantic basin for potential tropical development.
Off the Southeast Coast:
- An elongated area of low pressure is currently located offshore the coast of Florida, producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms.
- Despite strong upper-level winds, some gradual development is possible as the system moves northeastward over the next couple of days.
- Regardless of development, heavy rainfall is expected to continue across portions of the Florida peninsula through late this week.
- This system has a low (20%) chance of formation over the next 48 hours and remains at 20% over the next seven days.
Southwestern Gulf of Mexico:
- A broad area of low pressure is expected to form over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico late this weekend or early next week.
- Environmental conditions appear favorable for gradual development, with the potential for a tropical depression to form during the early or middle of next week as the system moves slowly westward or west-northwestward.
- This area has a near zero chance of formation over the next 48 hours, but a medium (40%) chance of development over the next seven days.
