Tropical Disturbances Under NHC's Watch for Development

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring two systems in the eastern Atlantic that have the potential for development. One tropical wave off the coast of Africa has a 30% chance of development over the next seven days, while the second system has a 20% chance. Forecasters are also keeping an eye on two tropical waves in the Caribbean. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicts an above-normal level of activity for the 2023 Atlantic hurricane season, with 14-21 named storms expected. It is too early to determine if these systems will impact the U.S.
