The system has a high chance of developing over the next several days. If it becomes a tropical storm, it will be named Gordon.

MIAMI – As the Gulf Coast states prepare for impacts from Tropical Storm Francine, which is expected to become a hurricane, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) continues to track two other areas in the Atlantic that could become the next named storms of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season.

One of the systems has a high chance of developing over the next several days, while the other has a low chance of development. The next system to become a tropical storm will be named Gordon.

Central Atlantic disturbance has high chance of development

The NHC is monitoring an area in the central tropical Atlantic, associated with a trough of low pressure several hundred miles southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands.

Environmental conditions are expected to be favorable for gradual development, and a tropical depression will likely form later this week as the system moves west-northwestward at 10-15 mph. 

The NHC is giving the system a high chance of development over the next seven days.

Invest 92L has low chance of development in central Atlantic

The NHC said Invest 92L continues to produce disorganized showers and thunderstorms over the central tropical Atlantic.

Environmental conditions are only marginally conducive for some slight development during the next couple of days, but a tropical depression could still form while the system moves westward at 5-10 mph over the central tropical Atlantic.

The NHC is giving Invest 92L a low chance of development.
