Storm tracker: NHC tracking Atlantic disturbances including Gordon remnants, 2 other systems

The National Hurricane Center is tracking three tropical disturbances in the Atlantic, two of which have a medium chance of strengthening into tropical depressions or storms in the coming days.

The first disturbance is associated with the remnants of Gordon and is currently producing showers and thunderstorms over the central tropical Atlantic, the NHC said in an advisory early Thursday morning. The system is forecast to "interact with another area of low pressure to its west" while moving west-northwestward in the coming days, according to the hurricane center.

While environmental conditions appear only marginally conducive for the system to develop further by the end of this week, the NHC said a tropical depression or storm could still re-form in a few days as the system moves slowly northward over the central subtropical Atlantic.

The second disturbance, the one to the west of the first disturbance, is also producing shower and thunderstorm activity a few hundred miles northwest of the remnants of Gordon.

The NHC said some additional development of this system is possible "as it meanders over the open waters of the central or western Subtropical Atlantic through early next week," although its chances of formation over the next seven days remain at 20 percent.

Lastly, a "broad area of low pressure" could form late this weekend or early next week over the western and northwestern Caribbean Sea. After that, gradual development of the system is possible, and a tropical depression could form as the system moves slowly to the north and northwest and into the southeastern Gulf of Mexico through the middle part of next week, the NHC said.
