National Hurricane Center monitoring three tropical systems in Atlantic and Caribbean
Published:Saturday | September 5, 2020 | 3:19 PM
The National Hurricane Center is monitoring three tropical waves in the Atlantic storm basin, one of which is very likely to form into a tropical depression.
A tropical wave is now located over the eastern Atlantic Ocean. It is currently just an unorganised group of showers and thunderstorms, but has a chance of developing into a tropical storm or hurricane within the next five days.
The named tropical storm will be Paulette.
The system is moving west-northwest into the central Atlantic Ocean. There it will run into conditions that are more favourable for it to strengthen and organise into a stronger system.
