High Development Odds in the Atlantic: Three Areas to Watch
High Development Odds in the Atlantic: Three Areas to Watch
US · Published Aug 11, 2026
The Gulf Coast Storm Team is monitoring three areas of interest in the Atlantic basin for potential tropical development.
A low-pressure system about 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 potential risks for areas in its westward path, though it may curve northward away from the U.S. The tropical wave near the Windward Islands is unlikely to develop significantly, reducing immediate risks for the region. The disturbance near Bermuda is drifting eastward and is expected to dissipate, posing minimal threat. Residents in affected areas should remain vigilant as the Atlantic hurricane season approaches its peak in one month.
