There are now two areas of low pressure being watched by the National Hurricane Center for possible development in the Atlantic. Neither of which pose any threat to the United States.

The remnants of Tropical Storm Fay will have a small chance to reorganize within the next few days. This is a small window of time,before conditions likely become too hostile for redevelopment over the weekend. If it reforms, the storm would likely remain out-to-sea over the open Atlantic.

An area of low pressure associated with a tropical wave off the coast of Africa has shown more potential for development. The NHC has now given the spot a medium (40%) chance of forming within the next seven days.

The Cabo Verde Islands will be monitoring the progression of this disturbance as it potentially becomes a tropical depression or storm by the weekend. This would bring heavy rain and gusty winds to the islands.

The next name on our 2026 Storm Naming List would be Gonzalo.

Tropical Storm Fay formed in the North Atlantic this morning. This is the sixth named storm of the season and cames three weeks behind the average date we expect our sixth storm to form.

While Fay could briefly strengthen into a hurricane in the short term, it will eventually enter into an unfavorable environment and likely dissipate early next week. This storm is not a threat to the Unites States.

If Fay becomes a hurricane, this would end our 324-day streak without a hurricane in the Atlantic.

There are no other active areas of concern in the Atlantic Basin being monitored at this time.
