Batter up:
National Hurricane Center tracking three tropical waves
The tropical Atlantic is starting to become more active after a few weeks off.
The National Hurricane Center is tracking three tropical waves as of Wednesday morning, and two of them have the potential to develop into something more.
Newest to the board is a tropical wave in the central Atlantic located roughly halfway between the Lesser Antilles and the west coast of Africa.
It has generated a wide area of rain and storms but didn’t appear organized as of Wednesday morning, the hurricane center said.
There is a chance it could slowly develop late this weekend and into early next week when it tracks east of the Lesser Antilles.
It has a 20 percent chance of becoming a tropical depression in the next five days.
A second wave has a 30 percent chance of becoming a depression but is farther away. The hurricane center expects it to move off the west coast of Africa and into the eastern Atlantic late Thursday.
It will have more favorable conditions and could develop slowly as it heads westward about 15 mph, the hurricane center said.
A third tropical wave, located in the eastern Atlantic, has zero chance of development as of Wednesday but could bring heavy rain and gusty winds to parts of the Cabo Verde Islands today.
The tropical Atlantic has been quiet since the demise of Elsa on July 9. Elsa was briefly a hurricane and made landfall as a tropical storm in the Big Bend area of Florida on July 7.
There have been four other named storms so far.
NOAA plans to update its hurricane outlook for the Atlantic later today.
The first outlook, issued in late May, suggested there could be 13 to 20 named storms, six to 10 hurricanes and three to five major hurricanes.
An average season, according to NOAA, has 14 named storms, seven hurricanes and three major hurricanes.
The hurricane season comes to an official end on Nov. 30.
