National Hurricane Center Monitors Atlantic Systems for Potential Development

One system shows increasing chances of becoming a tropical storm, while another remains unlikely to develop.

A tropical wave in the central Atlantic has a 40% chance of developing into a tropical depression or storm within seven days.
The system could impact the Lesser Antilles and eastern Caribbean by next week.
A second disturbance near Bermuda has a near 0% chance of development due to dry air and strong upper-level winds.
The Atlantic hurricane season, peaking from mid-August to October, has seen five named storms so far.
NOAA forecasts predict up to 24 named storms this season, with up to seven becoming major hurricanes.
