We are continuing to monitor a broad area of low pressure in the western Atlantic that could become a named system over the next few days as it moves east into the open waters of the Atlantic. For now, the National Hurricane Center has given the spot a medium (50%) chance of formation within the next week.

This would pose no direct threat for the United States. There is high confidence it would be steered eastward if it were to form. By early next week, conditions should become unfavorable for any further development.

The next name up on our 2026 storm naming list is Kyle. November is a historically quiet month with approximately 5% of Atlantic named storms forming during the month.

We are continuing to keep tabs on a non-tropical area of low pressure developing off the east coast of the United States.

As of now, the spot has been given a medium (40%) chance of development over the next seven days.

If it takes on enough tropical characteristics, it would be given the name Josephine.

After days of slow and erratic movement, the system would likely move northeast into the open waters of the Atlantic.

This would not be directly impacting the Tampa Bay area. Regardless of formation, this will produce gusty winds, high surf, coastal flooding and potentially beach erosion along the east coast of the United States
