NEW YORK, USA (Reuters) -- The US National Hurricane Center said on Monday a broad area of low pressure about 500 miles east of the Lesser Antilles in the Atlantic Ocean had a high chance of becoming the season's next tropical depression during the next 48 hours.
Showers and thunderstorms continued to show signs of organization. However, there was no well-defined surface circulation center as of 2 p.m. EDT, the NHC said.
The system had a greater than 50 percent chance of becoming a tropical depression during the next day or so as it moves west-northwest at around 15 miles per hour.
The NHC said interests in the Lesser Antilles should monitor the progress of the system.
Forecast tracks show it crossing to the north of some of the islands, with one track showing it close to Anguilla, the Virgin Islands or Puerto Rico. | | | | Reads : 1221 | | | |
