ORLANDO, Fla. — Update: The chance of a disturbance in the Atlantic forming has gone down as of Wednesday evening, Channel 9 meteorologist George Waldenberger said.
The chance of formation went from 50% to 40%, Waldenberger said.
Low pressure over the central Atlantic is producing a large area of disorganized showers and storms. It’s still not a tropical system and is caught up with a front, Waldenberger said.
Although some subtropical development is still possible, time is running out. If it is to develop into a subtropical storm, it’s it will have to do so before it moves over cooler water Friday, which would eliminate the chance of tropical development..
Update:
A disturbance in the Atlantic Ocean was becoming better organized as of Wednesday afternoon.
Channel 9 meteorologists continue to track a rare spin-up in the Central Atlantic.
The disturbance has a 50% chance of being named as it moves toward Europe.
Since 1950, there have only been 11 named storms in December.
The storm system could bring some rain and wind to the Azores this weekend.
Thankfully, non-tropical low-pressure area will not approach the United States.
