Disturbance 1: 20% Chance of Cyclone Formation in 48 HoursAs of 2:00 AM EDT Fri Sep 13 2024…

Near the Northern Leeward Islands (AL94):

Satellite-derived wind data from several hours ago indicate that a small area of low pressure located less than one hundred miles east of the northern Leeward Islands has degenerated into a surface trough.

Environmental conditions, including the proximity of dry air, do not favor development of this system while it moves west-northwestward at about 15 mph.

Regardless of development, locally heavy rainfall and gusty winds are possible across the northern Leeward Islands today.

Formation chance through 48 hours…low…20 percent.
Formation chance through 7 days…low…20 percent.
