The Atlantic Hurricane Season runs from June 1 – November 30 and typically September is the most active month for hurricane development in the Atlantic basin. Here’s a look ahead of what the peak of the Atlantic Hurricane Season looks like:

As we start to move into the most active month for hurricanes, the tropics are heating up with now two areas with a high chance for tropical development.

1. The first tropical wave to monitor is located near the Eastern Caribbean sea just west of the Windward Islands.

This wave is beginning to show signs of development and organization bringing some thunderstorms to the Lesser Antilles.

As this system continues to move west around 15 mph, it will likely development into a Tropical Depression, named Fifteen, over the course of the next couple days as seen below from our model runs:

2.The second area to watch is an area of low pressure off of the Southeastern Coast.

This area of low pressure also has a high chance of development into a tropical depression over the next several days. This is likely to move east-northeast and ride along the western Atlantic coast and then move off into the Atlantic.

There are two additional waves off in the eastern Atlantic off the coast of Africa that will likely travel west. Right now they have low chances of tropical development over the next 5 days but are certainly areas to monitor for further development.

The next named storm in the Atlantic will take on the name ‘Nana’. Here’s a complete list of all of the Atlantic tropical names.
