National Hurricane Center Tracking Six Systems In The Atlantic

DEVELOPING:  The meteorological peak of hurricane season is Sept. 10, and it sure looks like it in the Atlantic basin. The National Hurricane Center is tracking six systems, with the newest one added at the 8 a.m. update. Two of them are tropical storms, and one is poised to strike Bermuda.

The closest system to Florida is an area of low pressure a couple of hundred miles northeast of the Central Bahamas. Forecasters expect the system to cross the Bahamas and Florida on Friday before moving into the Gulf of Mexico over the weekend. It has a 50% chance of developing into anything stronger during that time.

The newest system, another low pressure area, popped up in the Gulf on Thursday morning. The hurricane center said it could move west and south for the next few days without much chance of development — 10% in the next two days and 20% in the next five. -Full Report
