Hurricane Center Monitors Three Atlantic Systems, One Likely to Develop
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is currently tracking three systems in the Atlantic Ocean, with one showing a significant chance of development. As of 2 p.m. EDT on August 10, 2026, the most developed system is a low-pressure area located a few hundred miles southwest of the Cape Verde Islands. This system has a 20% chance of development within the next 48 hours and a 60% chance over the next seven days. Another tropical wave, located midway between West Africa and the Lesser Antilles, has a lower 10% chance of development over the next seven days. A third system, a trough of low pressure west-northwest of Bermuda, is moving eastward and has a 10% chance of development within the same timeframe. The Atlantic hurricane season has been relatively quiet so far, with only two named storms, Arthur and Bertha, recorded.
