The stretch of near-dormant conditions in the tropical Atlantic has come to an end, as anticipated. NHC is now monitoring multiple areas for possible tropical development over next several days. The area of thunderstorm activity with the highest probability of development (pictured above in red) also has the most interesting prospects for tracking close to the United States mainland.
NHC suggests that this area of thunderstorms has a 80% chance of developing into a tropical system of some sort over the next 5 days. The general track of the system during that time would place it somewhere north or northeast of the Lesser Antilles, though the details of how the system organizes remain uncertain at this range.
