The 3 other disturbances in the Atlantic to keep an eye on

9/6/2019 (Permalink)

According to CNN, there are three other disturbances in the Atlantic:

• Gabrielle is a post-tropical cyclone in the middle of the ocean.
• Off the coast of Africa, there's a disturbance that has a 20% chance of a cyclone forming in the next 48 hours.
• There's another could-be cyclone closer the Caribbean. That one has only a 10% chance of forming in the next two days.

Generally, the Atlantic hurricane season reaches a peak in the eight weeks surrounding September 10th. 

Two-thirds of all the storms produced in a typical season occur during this period.

Conditions in the tropics become ideal for storm development during this time. By the end of August, water has typically warmed to the mid-80s in many parts of the region.
