SUMMARY: The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is tracking a disturbance developing in the eastern Atlantic Ocean, with a 30% chance of further development as it moves westward or southwestward. Currently located a few hundred miles from the Cabo Verde Islands, the system may encounter conditions more favorable for growth by mid-week, despite initially moving into less conducive environments. Over the next ten days, the NHC will continue monitoring the situation, especially as potential impacts on Florida remain uncertain after recent hurricane events, including Helene and Milton.
