TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) – Hurricane Erin has returned to the sea after causing heavy rain and dangerous clefts to the Caribbean and parts of the East Coast.
As of 8am on Saturday, there are no tropical stormwatches or warnings in the Atlantic, but they could change by the end of the day.
Predictors at the National Hurricane Centre are monitoring a low-pressure area about 500 miles southeast of Bermuda. Tropical depression is likely to form later on Saturday, and could intensify into tropical storms on Sunday as low-pressure areas move north.
Development potential is 100% higher for both the next 48 hours and 7 days, but is not expected to affect the US
The NHC is also keeping an eye on tropical waves coming from Africa’s east coast. Tropical waves are low-pressure, confused areas that lead to rain and thunderstorms, which can lead to tropical depression.
The waves are located 850 miles east of the Caribbean Islands and move quite quickly across the Atlantic at 20 mph west. There will be some developments over the next few days, and the waves could cause heavy rain and gusts of windward islands. The Windward Islands constitute lesser southern half of the Antilles and generally include Dominica, Martinique, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent, Grenazine, Grenada, Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago.
Development chances will be 10% over the next 48 hours and 20% for the next 7 days.
