National Hurricane Center: Three tropical waves developed in the Atlantic Ocean near the peak of the hurricane season

Relay – The National Hurricane Center is observing three tropical waves in the Atlantic Storm Basin, one of which generates the least tropical stress.

The highest tropical wave is located on the East Atlantic Ocean. It is currently the only organized group of rains and hurricanes, but more could happen in the coming weeks.

The system is moving west-northwest into the Central Atlantic Ocean. There it will run in a situation that is conducive to making it stronger and more organized into a stronger system.

There is a 50 percent chance that the storm will become a tropical depression in two days. There is a 90 percent chance that the storm will become a tropical depression in the next five days.

There is only a 10 percent chance of development for another Atlantic system in the next five days

The third system is still located on Africa. Long-distance forecasts offer a fair chance to form this system, but not until the middle or end of next week.

It is not uncommon for many of these systems to develop simultaneously at this time of year. Mid-September is the peak of the hurricane season.

Yet, this hurricane season has been more active than usual. Breaking the record set in 2005, it is the fastest-growing hurricane ever. The following tropical storms have set all the initial records of their respective first letters: Cristobal, Eduard, Faye, Gonzalo, Hannah, Isaiah, Josephine, Kyle, Laura, Marco, Nana, and Omar.
