A new system being tracked in the Atlantic Ocean might become a tropical depression next week but is nowhere near land, hurricane forecasters said Saturday. Former Tropical Storm Jerry died off Saturday afternoon.
The newest disturbance is sitting over the eastern tropical Atlantic several hundred miles south-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands off the coast of Africa, the National Hurricane Center said in its 8 p.m. advisory. It’s described as a large area of showers and thunderstorms.
The weather around the system seems just right for some forecasted formation.
“A tropical depression could form next week while moving west-northwestward to northwestward at 15 to 20 mph across the central tropical Atlantic,” forecasters said.
It has a low (30%) chance of forming in the next two days, and a 50% chance in the next seven. If it forms, the hurricane center shows no land masses will be nearby.
The remnants of former Tropical Storm Jerry were still moving north about 330 miles south-southeast of Bermuda, according to the hurricane center’s 5 p.m. advisory.
It has degenerated into a trough, forecasters said, and will no longer be tracked.
