HOLT, Fla., July 25, 2023—There are three areas of interest in the Atlantic after nearly two months with little tropical activity since the 2023 hurricane season began June 1.

Invest 95, which entered the Caribbean Sea yesterday, is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms; however, further development of this system is not anticipated.

Its chances are now at zero percent.

Likewise, chances are low for the weak trough of low pressure located a few hundred miles southwest of Bermuda.

According to the National Hurricane Center, significant development of this system appears unlikely while it moves toward the U.S. coast during the next several days.

Chances for development is 10 percent.

A third tropical wave located west of the African coast and south of the Cabo Verde Islands appears to have the most potential for development for now.

According to the NHC, some development is possible later this week and into the weekend as it moves west-northwest over the tropical Atlantic.

While there have only been four named storms in the first six weeks of the 2023 season to date, there have been five storms due to an early unnamed subtropical storm that occurred in early January.

Only one tropical storm, Don, briefly strengthened into a hurricane for 12 hours before weakening back to a tropical storm and then quickly deteriorating while over cooler waters in the North Atlantic.
