Tropical Depression Forms in Atlantic

  • On Saturday, the National Hurricane Center identified Tropical Depression Six in the Atlantic Ocean, located about 525 miles southwest of the Azores with maximum sustained winds of 35 mph.
  • Forecasters expect the system to strengthen into Tropical Storm Fay on Sunday, though the NHC stated it poses no immediate threat to any land areas.
  • Moving north at 2 mph, the system will track northeast for the next 36 hours before turning toward the southwest, according to NHC forecasts.
  • Increasing wind shear and dry air will hinder development by early next week, while the agency forecasts slight strengthening over the next 24 hours followed by gradual weakening.
  • Meteorologists link the season's inactivity to strong El Niño conditions, as this formation occurs during an unusually quiet year that has yet to produce a single hurricane.
