Tropical Update
Hurricane Lee will continue tracking north. On the forecast track, the center of Lee will pass west of Bermuda today and tonight and then approach the coast of New England and Atlantic Canada Friday and Saturday. Dangerous surf and rip currents are expected along the East Coast most of this week.
Hurricane Margot forecast to meander over the north Atlantic over the next several days.
Showers and thunderstorms are gradually becoming better organized in association with a broad area of low pressure located well to the WSW of the Cabo Verde Islands. Environmental conditions appear favorable for further development of this system, and a tropical depression is likely to form during the next couple of days while the low moves across the central tropical Atlantic.
* Formation chance through 48 hours: High (80%)
* Formation chance through 7 days: High (90%)
