On Tuesday, July 24, 2023, the National Hurricane Center was monitoring three disturbances spread throughout the Atlantic basin- Invest 95L and two areas of low pressure.
By Wednesday morning, July 25, 2023, two of the three disturbances had dissipated, but the Atlantic Ocean is bustling with activity as the 2023 hurricane season ramps up for the most active time of year.
The National Hurricane Center had been keeping a close eye on Invest 95L since it was first spotted on July 19.
The tropical wave that hung over the southeastern Caribbean Sea produced a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms.
On Tuesday, July 24, 2023, the National Hurricane Center was also tracking an area of low pressure located a few hundred miles south-southwest of Bermuda.
Forecasters said significant development of this system appears unlikely as it was forecast to move toward the southeastern U.S. coast over the next several days.
Additionally, a tropical wave located southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands continues to turn heads.
The NHC says some development is possible later this week and into the weekend as it moves over the tropical Atlantic.
Many have questioned whether the unusually high sea surface temperatures near the Florida Keys would contribute to a forecast for an above-average hurricane season, but forecasters say it’s just one of many factors.
