The National Hurricane Center is monitoring three tropical waves: A far eastern Atlantic tropical wave is near 25W from the western Cabo Verde Islands southward, and moving west around 17 mph. Scattered moderate to isolated strong convection is found from 04N to 13N between 21W and 30W.
Models vary widely on how strong Tropical Storm Lorenzo could get, ranging from weak tropical storm to Category 2 storm.
A new tropical storm could form in the Atlantic this week and continue the 2025 hurricane season’s backloaded burst of tropical activity. Even though fewer storms tend to form now, in the late-season, history has shown how devastating they can be, particularly since development areas shift closer to land.
