Here’s the latest update from the NHC as of  8 a.m. Oct. 4:  

What’s out there and where are they?

Invest 91L: Showers and thunderstorms associated with a tropical wave located a few hundred miles east of the southern Windward Islands have increased a little this morning, but there are not yet any signs of significant organization.

Invest 92L: A broad low pressure system located a few hundred miles west-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands continues to produce a large area of showers and thunderstorms.

How likely are they to strengthen? 

Invest 91L: The wave is forecast to move westward at about 15 mph, crossing the Windward Islands tonight and early Wednesday.

Some slow development is possible while the wave continues westward, and a tropical depression could form by late this week or this weekend over the central or western Caribbean Sea.

• Formation chance through 48 hours: low, 20 percent.
• Formation chance through 5 days: medium, 40 percent.

Invest 92L: Environmental conditions are currently conducive for development, and a tropical depression is likely to form during the next day or so while moving northwestward at about 10 mph over the eastern tropical Atlantic.

Upper-level winds are expected to become less conducive for development by Wednesday and Thursday.

•  Formation chance through 48 hours: high, 80 percent.
•  Formation chance through 5 days: high, 80 percent.

Who is likely to be impacted? 

It’s too early at this time to determine if there will be any impact to the U.S. from the tropical waves.  Residents in the Windward Islands, the ABC Islands and the northern coast of Venezuela were advised to monitor the progress the tropicspanl wspanve approaching the Caribbean.

Forecasters urge all residents to continue monitoring the tropics and to always be prepared during what’s expected to be an active hurricane season.
