Low-Pressure Area Near Cabo Verde Islands Shows Signs of Development
A low-pressure area near the Cabo Verde Islands is becoming more organized as it advances closer to the region on Sunday night. This system could easily develop into a tropical depression before reaching the islands. Regardless of its current state, CBS News Miami continues to track this feature closely, as environmental conditions favor further development while it moves away from the islands across the Atlantic this week.
Forecast and Movement of the System
Forecast models indicate that a tropical depression or storm is probable by midweek, as the system progresses west-northwest at speeds between 15 and 20 mph. Its trajectory suggests a long journey across the Atlantic, prompting ongoing surveillance by CBS News Miami throughout the week and into the weekend.
Potential for Hurricane Development
Consistent model predictions show the storm maintaining a west-northwest course, staying north of the Leeward Islands. This system could become the season's first hurricane, with some forecasts hinting at potential intensification into a major hurricane by the upcoming weekend.
