MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - The Tropics are getting more active with three disturbances.

1. A broad area of low pressure located a couple hundred miles south of the Cabo Verde Islands is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Although environmental conditions are only marginally conducive (30%), some slow development of this system is possible during the next few days while the system moves west-northwestward to westward across the eastern and central tropical Atlantic at 10 to 15 mph.
2. A small but well-defined area of low pressure located over the eastern tropical Atlantic about a thousand miles west of the Cabo Verde Islands continues to produce limited shower activity. Some development of this low is possible (30%) while it drifts toward the west-southwest or west over the weekend and then moves a little faster toward the west-northwest over the central tropical Atlantic by the middle of next week.
3. A tropical wave located over the west-central tropical Atlantic is producing limited shower activity. Significant development of this system is not anticipated (10%) as it moves west-northwestward across the Lesser Antilles and eastern Caribbean Sea during the early to middle part of next week.

As hurricane season enters its peak, NOAA’s updated forecast calls for even more storms than they previously forecast.

As a reminder, we have had 5 named storms so far this season. The next name on the list is Fred.
