Tropical Storm Nadine Unlikely as Atlantic Disturbances Struggle
Potential tropical storms in the Atlantic face unfavorable conditions, reducing chances of significant development.
- The National Hurricane Center reports a 20-30% chance of the Atlantic disturbance, Invest 94L, developing into Tropical Storm Nadine within the next week.
- Strong upper-level winds and dry air are inhibiting development of 94L, despite warm ocean temperatures that typically support storm growth.
- Forecast models predict 94L will bring moderate rainfall to the Leeward Islands, Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico, but dissipate by Sunday.
- Another disturbance near Honduras poses a low risk of storm development but is expected to bring heavy rain to parts of Belize and southeast Mexico.
- The Madden-Julian Oscillation could increase tropical cyclone activity in the Atlantic in early November, though current disturbances lack favorable conditions.
