We are keeping tabs on a cluster of showers and storms in the Central Atlantic that show some signs of organization in association with an area of low pressure.

For now, the National Hurricane Center is giving this disturbance (Invest 90L) a medium 40% chance of development.

If Invest 90L were to become a named storm, it would take the name “Andrea.”

The system will likely encounter an unfavorable environment for development on Tuesday, making the next 24 hours its best window to organize. This not a threat to the United States and will move east and likely remain at sea if it develops.

The Atlantic remains quiet. No tropical development is expected within the next seven days. 

If things remain silent though Friday, this will be the slowest start we’ve had in eleven years. However, keep in mind that June only accounts for 6% of the storms within a typical Atlantic hurricane season.

Meanwhile, the Eastern Pacific has already seen five named storms. One of which, Hurricane Erick, made landfall in Mexico this morning as a Category 3 hurricane. Erick became a high-end Category 4 hurricane last night before making landfall in extreme western Oaxaca with 125mph winds. It has since weakened substantially.
