cycloneye wrote:Central Tropical Atlantic (AL95):
Showers and thunderstorms associated with an area of low pressure
located over the central tropical Atlantic about 800 miles
west-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands have changed little in
organization through the day. However, environmental conditions
are conducive for further development, and a tropical depression or
tropical storm is expected to form over the next day or so while the
low moves toward the west-northwest at 15 to 20 mph across the
central tropical Atlantic. Additional strengthening, possibly to a
hurricane, is likely later this week while the system moves over
western portions of the tropical Atlantic, near or to the northeast
of the northern Leeward Islands. For additional information on
this system, including gale warnings, see High Seas Forecasts issued
by the National Weather Service.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...90 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...near 100 percent.
I’ve never seen them specify intensification into a hurricane in any TWO before.
