There are no tropical cyclones in the Atlantic as of 8 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 8, 2023.
Meanwhile, the National Hurricane Center is monitoring a tropical wave (AL92) developing off the coast of the Cabo Verde Islands, which is forecast to become a tropical depression mid-week as it moves west across the eastern tropical Atlantic.
Here's the latest update from the NHC as of 8 a.m.:
What's out there and where are they?
How likely are they to strengthen?
Disturbance 1 (AL92): A low-latitude tropical wave located several hundred miles to the south-southeast of the Cabo Verde Islands continues to produce a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions appear conducive for gradual development of this system, and a tropical depression is likely to form by midweek while it moves westward to west-northwestward across the eastern tropical Atlantic.
Formation chance through 48 hours: Low, 30%
Formation chance through seven days: High, 80%
Who is likely to be impacted?
It's too early at this time to determine if there will be any impact to the U.S. from the tropical waves.
Forecasters urge all residents to continue monitoring the tropics and to always be prepared.
