NHC monitors first tropical disturbance of hurricane season in Atlantic.
The National Hurricane Center is monitoring the first tropical wave of the year in the Southwestern Atlantic region, but it is unlikely to strengthen due to strong upper-level winds and dry air. The system's formation chance through the next 48 hours and seven days is low at 10%. The NHC has started its daily Tropical Weather Outlook for the Atlantic basin ahead of the upcoming hurricane season, which officially begins on June 1.
