TL;DR Summary

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a single Atlantic system, Invest 96L, located southwest of the Cape Verde Islands, with a 60% chance to develop into a tropical depression or storm over the next 2–7 days as it moves westward, but conditions are expected to become less favorable by this weekend, reducing development chances. A second potential system near Bermuda has moved into waters not conducive to development with 0% chances. The 2026 season has been slow with three named storms (Arthur, Bertha, Cristobal); Dolly is next. NOAA’s updated forecast now calls for 7–13 named storms, 2–6 hurricanes, and possibly no major hurricanes, reflecting a below-average season with peak activity mid-August to mid-October.
