The National Hurricane Center’s Thursday afternoon forecasts predicts two systems, with low odds of becoming the next tropical storm, to emerge in the Atlantic sometime after this weekend.
First, a broad non-tropical pressure system several hundred miles east-southeast of Bermuda is expected to form early next week, according to the NHC’s 2 p.m. update. It has a 20% chance of forming into a tropical depression or tropical storm early next week.
After it emerges, the system is expected to pass between Bermuda and the northern Lesser Antilles.
Next, a broad area of low pressure is forecast to emerge early next week over the southwestern Caribbean with some gradual development expected as it continues moving west-northwest.
The system has a 20% chance of development in the next five days.
Whichever system, if either, develops into a tropical storm would be the 26th named storm of the year and be named Epsilon.
The official last day of hurricane season is Nov. 30.
