Three Tropical Disturbances Monitored in Atlantic Basin
Three Tropical Disturbances Monitored in Atlantic Basin
US · Published Aug 11, 2026
The Gulf Coast Storm Team is actively tracking three areas of interest in the Atlantic Basin for potential tropical development.
A low-pressure system located approximately 500 miles southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands has a 30% chance of development within the next two days and a 70% chance over the next week.

Impact & Risks

The low-pressure system near the Cabo Verde Islands poses the highest risk for development, potentially becoming a tropical depression later this week. If it follows a weakness in the ridge of high pressure, it may curve northward, avoiding the U.S. The tropical wave near the Windward Islands and the disturbance near Bermuda are less likely to develop, with environmental factors such as wind shear and cooler waters limiting their potential impact. Coastal areas should remain vigilant as the Atlantic hurricane season approaches its peak.
