Potential Tropical Storm Nadine Develops in Atlantic

Forecasters predict a 60% chance of development as the system moves westward, with possible impacts on the Caribbean.

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring AL94, a weather system in the Atlantic with a 60% chance of becoming a tropical depression in the next seven days.
Environmental conditions are expected to become more favorable for storm development as AL94 approaches the Leeward Islands later this week.
Meteorologists indicate that the Gulf of Mexico is unlikely to be impacted due to a high-pressure system preventing major storm formation in the region.
If AL94 strengthens, it could potentially affect Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, and Jamaica, though a direct impact on the U.S. is doubtful.
The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season has already seen significant activity, with 13 named storms and nine hurricanes, including the recent Hurricanes Helene and Milton.
