NHC monitors Atlantic disturbance near Cabo Verde
WESH • • nation
Key Points:
- The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a low-pressure system west of the Cabo Verde Islands, producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms with a low 20% chance of development in the next 48 hours and seven days.
- Environmental conditions may allow marginal development in the next day or two, but stronger upper-level winds could hinder further intensification afterward.
- Heavy rainfall is expected in parts of the Cabo Verde Islands over the next few days as the system moves slowly north to north-northwest.
- The system currently poses no threat to Florida, shortly after Hurricane Isaias made landfall near Destin, Fla., as a Category 2 hurricane and caused heavy rain in the Florida Panhandle.
- Hurricane Isaias is the first hurricane of the 2026 Atlantic season, having impacted the Gulf Coast and Southeast regions recently.
