The first is a low-pressure trough over the southwestern Atlantic Ocean. A low-pressure surface area system is expected to form along the northern part of the trough. Some development could also occur through Saturday.
As of Friday morning, formation chances were at 20%
The second system could become Lisa, the next hurricane season storm name.
A low pressure area is expected to develop over the eastern Caribbean Sea over the weekend. This could be due to the southern part of an existing low pressure area.
The NHC stated that “environmental conditions are expected to be conducive to gradual development” and that a tropical depression could develop early next week.
Jayme King, Chief Meteorologist for FOX 35 Storm Team, says that the system has a 70% chance of developing in the next five days.
“It looks like it could become Tropical Storm Lisa if we look longer-term.”
King advises that both systems should be kept out of Florida at this time. The hurricane season ends November 30.
