Area of low pressure located about 475 miles east of the Bahamas. While there have not been much changed to the overall structure of the system...winds near the center are at tropical storm force. Upper level winds are currently unfavorable for development right now...but this system will be moving into an environment that could make this system into a subtropical or tropical storm in a few days as this system moves to the north at 5 to 10 mph.

Elsewhere...tropical storm activity is not expected to develop within the next 36 hours.

Area of low pressure located east of the Bahamas will dissipate and a new area of low pressure will develop east of the previous low pressure will begin a slow movement to the northwest. Upper level winds are not favorable for development...but could gradually acquire subtropical characteristics over the next few days. Areas from eastern Florida to southeast Virginia need to monitor the progress of this system as forecast models do bring this low closer to the east coast by early next week.

Elsewhere...tropical storm development is not expected within the next 36 hours.

We have our first area of tropical activity of the season...though not expected to develop. Weak area of showers and thunderstorms west of the Bahamas moving slowly to the northwest. Upper level winds are not favorable for any development at this time...but will continue to be monitored.

Elsewhere...tropical storm activity is not expected within the next 36 hours.

June 1 is the start of the Atlantic hurricane season and I/m expecting it to be a very active season. My current forecast calls for 16 named storms...with 9 of these storms to become hurricane and 4 major hurricanes. The increased in activity is expected due to the continued weakening of El Nino and warmer than normal sea surface temperatures.
