Tropical wave forms just offshore of West Africa
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) has said a strong tropical wave formed off the coast of West Africa today, June 14, 2021.
According to the NHC in its 8:00 am update, the tropical wave is producing disorganized shower and thunderstorm activity.
It said some development of this system is possible during the next few days before a combination of dry air aloft and strong upper-level winds limit any chance of formation while the wave is over the central tropical Atlantic Ocean late week.
The tropical wave only has a 20 per cent chance of development over the next five days, the NHC said.
The next three names for named storms in the 2021 Atlantic hurricane season are Bill, Claudette, and Danny.
Ana was the first.
