Hurricane Center Watching New Tropical System With Chances of Development




A tropical disturbance was detected Thursday morning. The system has a 10 percent chance of developing into a tropical depression over the next two to five days, according to the National Hurricane Center's 8 a.m. Thursday update.

As Subtropical Storm Rebekah moves east toward Europe, a new system with chances of tropical development appeared Thursday morning and is moving west, the National Hurricane Center said in its 8 a.m. update. The broad area of disturbed weather appeared Thursday morning about 1,000 miles south-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands, the NHC said. It has a 10 percent chance of tropical development in the next two to five days, although it is expected to encounter unfavorable conditions this weekend with the presence of upper-level winds. If the system can find circular wind motion, it will become Tropical Depression 19. If it is able to organize and sustain maximum winds of 39 mph or higher, it will become Tropical Storm Sebastien.
