As one nor'easter is expected to dump several inches of rain across the tri-state area, the National Hurricane Center is eyeing the possibility for another storm to develop in the northeast. A storm system with strong winds is forecasted to move northeast in the next few days, the NHC said....

The nor’easter – a non-tropical low-pressure system – that pounded New England yesterday is heading toward the central Atlantic. The system is huge with a robust spin. There are no signs of any tropical characteristics with the system at this point, but warmer ocean water is ahead. In the next...

Showers and thunderstorms associated with a storm-force non-tropical area of low pressure located more than 1000 miles east-northeast of Bermuda have changed little in organization since last night. Although there is still a small chance the system could become a short-lived subtropical storm today, the system is quickly moving over cooler waters and the likelihood of subtropical development has decreased. By this weekend, the system is expected to be absorbed by a larger non-tropical low. Additional information on this system, including hurricane-force wind warnings, can be found in High Seas forecasts issued by the National Weather Service. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...low...30 percent.

GREENVILLE, N.C. (WITN) -Tropical Storm Wanda has formed in the North Atlantic Ocean. This system will stay well away from the United States Coastline. Ships heading that way will be impacted but landfall is unlikely.

A tropical disturbance continued its northern journey Friday with increased odds of development along the U.S. East Coast, according to the National Hurricane Center. The area of elongated pressure, producing showers and thunderstorms is located 200 miles off Cape Hatteras, N.C., the NHC said in its 8 p.m. update. The NHC increased the system’s odds of developing into the next tropical ...

After a record breaking 2020 Atlantic Hurricane Season, there is extra reason to review and examine the list of storm names for the 2021 season. Colorado State University (CSU), a preeminent institution for hurricane forecasting, despite it's landlocked location, has kept up their more active than usual outlook as the season winds down.

The big former nor’easter is still producing winds over 40 mph over the open Atlantic well off the Northeast coast. In non-tropical parlance, winds over 40 mph are called gales. If the system were to evolve into Wanda — a technical meteorological distinction — we would call them tropical-storm-force winds.

The disturbance north of Florida had its odds increase of developing into the next tropical depression Thursday afternoon, according to the National Hurricane Center. The area of low pressure producing showers and thunderstorms is located 100 miles east of South Carolina shores, the NHC said in its 8 p.m. update. The odds of development increased 20% over the next two days, and 30% over the ...

While the Atlantic hurricane season does not officially end until Nov. 30, AccuWeather forecasters believe that the odds of any additional tropical storm formation in the near future are low. After a frenetic pace around the peak of hurricane season, there is just one name left on the 2021 list...

The short answer is…maybe, but probably not. The non-tropical system off the Carolina coast had strong enough winds yesterday to be named Tropical Storm Wanda, but it was missing the organized circulation that a tropical system has to have. Hurricane Hunters flew through the system and found 50 mph winds nearby, but they weren’t really related to the sloppy, broad circulation.

A broad area of low pressure system in the Caribbean is expected to turn east Thursday and continues to have a small chance of becoming the season’s next tropical depression, the National Hurricane Center said. The low is a several hundred miles south-southeast of Bermuda and is producing a large area of disorganized cloudiness and thunderstorms, according to the 8 p.m. update. The NHC said ...

Subtropical storm Wanda is located over 900 hundred miles west of the Azores. Wanda is expected to move southeastward today then northeastward tonight. A turn toward the north is expected on Tuesday or Tuesday night. Otherwise, a broad area of low pressure located several hundred miles west-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands continues to produce disorganized shower activity. The chances of tropical cyclone development is low. There are no other tropical systems or any disturbed weather with the potential to become tropical systems across the Atlantic Basin. The Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean are quiet and expected to stay that way for the next several days.

Things have been quiet lately in the tropics, but the National Hurricane Center has been tracking a system showing some chance for development off the East Coast. If the system strengthens into a tropical storm, it would become Wanda, the last name on the 2021 Atlantic hurricane season list. There...

The National Hurricane Center continues to monitor the powerful nor’easter impacting the northeast the last few days for signs of possible transition into a subtropical or tropical storm; it such a transition were to occur, it would be given the name “Wanda.”. According to the National Weather Service office responsible...
