More of a short-term risk will be for the Leeward Islands early next week, then Puerto Rico and the Bahamas later next week. These areas should, at the very least, expect an uptick in drenching downpours and gusty thunderstorms with locally rough seas.
Should the system develop into a hurricane but remain to the east of the U.S. Atlantic coast, it would still bring a period of rough seas, building surf and strong rip currents. It may also be of concern for Bermuda, should it track farther to the east.
The feature doesn’t represent a threat to the Gulf Coast at this point, but if it were to remain a ripple, it may have a better chance of making a more westward trip.
AccuWeather meteorologists insist that a super-charged Atlantic hurricane season will unfold this year, with a large number of tropical storms and hurricanes. Some storms are likely to undergo rapid intensification due largely to the ongoing higher-than-historical average water temperatures.
