Potential Tropical Threats To Atlantic
In the United States, Ida’s wrath is far from finished, and Tropical Depression Kate remained active in the basin on Tuesday. The latest system, which formed on Tuesday, could be a long-duration storm that will churn across the Atlantic for days, according to AccuWeather meteorologists. Additionally, forecasters will keep an eye on the Atlantic basin for tropical development in early September.
“There are all kinds of skeletons in the closet, Metrologis said while analyzing the potential for tropical storm development over the Atlantic basin in the coming days.
On Aug. 30, Kate became the 11th named storm of the 2021 Atlantic hurricane season, weakening to a depression by Tuesday morning. Kate is projected to spend its entire life hundreds of miles east of Bermuda, in the open seas of the Atlantic.
And, as Ida left a trail of torrential rain and floods across a large part of the United States, a new strong tropical wave formed off the coast of Africa early Tuesday.
This tropical wave had formed Tropical Depression Twelve by 5 p.m. EDT Tuesday. With maximum sustained winds of 35 mph, it was roughly 335 miles southeast of the Cabo Verde Islands.
This new depression is the most likely to become a tropical storm of all the regions being monitored in the Atlantic basin through the middle of this week. Larry will be given to it if it strengthens into a named storm with sustained winds of 39 mph or higher.
It has the potential to strengthen into a hurricane in the long run.
