ORLANDO, Fla. — As the Atlantic hurricane season enters its final month, meteorologists are keeping an eye on an area of low pressure that could develop in the central Atlantic.
The disturbance is expected to form along a frontal boundary several hundred miles south of Bermuda.
It currently has a 50% chance of developing into a subtropical low-pressure system by the end of the week.
While the system could organize as it develops, its chances of further strengthening are expected to diminish as it moves farther east into the Atlantic.
Conditions ahead are not expected to be favorable for additional development.
Even without significant development, the disturbance could generate rough seas and elevated wave heights across portions of the central Atlantic as it moves farther away from the United States.
The good news for Central Florida: No local impacts are expected.
The system is forecast to track away from the U.S. coastline, and there are currently no indications that it will bring adverse weather to Central Florida.
Meteorologists will continue monitoring the disturbance as the Atlantic hurricane season winds down.
