The National Hurricane Center (NHC) in Miami said Monday that the rain and hurricane zone has “increased organization” and established a tropical depression at 27, about 700 miles southeast of Bermuda.

On the open waters of the Atlantic, the storm system is expected to become stronger.
The NHC said “it is forecast to gradually strengthen over the next few hours, and the depression is forecast to be a tropical hurricane tonight or later tonight and is expected to be in or near the strength of the hurricane as early as Thursday.”
If it develops into a tropical storm, the system will be named “Epsilon” from the Greek alphabet and will be the 26th hurricane of the season, breaking one more record this hurricane season.

Forecasters are also observing the southwestern Caribbean Sea, where a wide area of low pressure is likely to form in the next few days.

“The gradual development of this system is possible this weekend when it is slowly moving forward
Northwest or northwest over the western Caribbean Sea, ”the NHC said.
Forecasters give the system a 20% chance of growth over the next five days.
There is still one month left in the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season, which ends on November 30, but the forecasters in September have broken numerous records this season compared to traditional names and went into the Greek alphabet for stormy alpha and beta. Delta Mexico weakened and swept before a Category 4 hurricane, then aimed and swept into Louisiana as a Category 2 hurricane.
NOAA forecasters called for as many as 25 hurricanes with winds of 39 miles or more this season; Seven to 10 of them could be hurricanes. In those hurricanes, there will be three to six major, classified as categories 3, 4 and 5, with winds of 111 miles or more.
That is much higher than the average year. Based on data from 1981 to 2010, it has 12 named hurricanes, six hurricanes and three major hurricanes.

There have been 25 named hurricanes so far this year, including nine hurricanes and three major hurricanes.
The last time the Greek alphabet arrived in the Atlantic was in 2005, the year of Hurricane Katrina. With a total of 27 storms that year, the first six letters of the Greek alphabet were used: alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon, and zeta.
With weeks to go until the season officially ends, the 2020 season could set a record for most named storms.
