NHC Watches Three, No Threat To Louisiana

The National Hurricane Center put three areas of interest on the board Friday, but two close to land are expected to be removed very quickly.

A third, over the Atlantic, looks to remain out to sea.

Here's the latest from the NHC as for Friday afternoon:

Central Tropical Atlantic:

A tropical wave located about midway between the Cabo Verde Islands and the Lesser Antilles continues to produce disorganized cloudiness and showers. Environmental conditions are expected to be favorable for gradual development of this system during the next few days, and a tropical depression could form early next week while the disturbance moves west-northwestward to northwestward at about 15 mph.

  • Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
  • Formation chance through 7 days...medium...60 percent.

Southwestern Atlantic:

Satellite, surface, and radar data show that a weak area of low pressure has moved just inland near the Florida/Georgia border. This system is forecast to move north-northwestward over inland portions of eastern Georgia through tonight, and no additional development is expected. The disturbance could bring locally heavy rainfall to portions of northeastern Florida, eastern Georgia, and eastern South Carolina during the next day or so.

  • Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
  • Formation chance through 7 days...low...near 0 percent.

Southwestern Caribbean Sea:

A large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms over the southwestern Caribbean Sea and portions of Central America are associated with a tropical wave and broad area of low pressure located near the eastern coast of Central America. This system is forecast to move westward over Central America later today or tonight, and significant development is not anticipated. Regardless of development, locally heavy rainfall is possible over portions of Nicaragua and Honduras during the next day or so.

  • Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
  • Formation chance through 7 days...low...10 percent.
