ORLANDO, Fla. – An area of low pressure could develop into a tropical depression and move toward the Sunshine State. The National Hurricane Center says the low has a 70% chance to develop tropical characteristics over the next two days. NEW 2pm EDT Friday: A tropical depression will likely form in the NW Caribbean Sea during the next day or two. The U.S. National Hurricane Center says Epsilon was about 195 miles east of Bermuda on Friday morning. Bermuda weather officials on Thursday evening had discontinued a tropical storm warning for the Atlantic island.

MIAMI – A weakened Hurricane Epsilon moved northward Friday over the Atlantic Ocean, a day after after skirting well east of Bermuda. Epsilon's top sustained winds fell Thursday to 85 mph (140 kph), dropping it from a Category 2 to a Category 1 storm, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said. But large ocean swells could cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions along the coast of New England and Atlantic Canada during the next couple of days, the hurricane center warned. Earlier in the week, Epsilon had gained 50 mph (80 kph) in wind speed in just 24 hours to become a major hurricane on Wednesday. This year's season has had so many storms that the hurricane center has turned to the Greek alphabet after running out of official names.

ORLANDO, Fla. – Don’t be surprised if by next week at this time there are two more named tropical systems in the Atlantic. One disturbance will likely be inconsequential, leaving the U.S. alone, but the other bears a little more watching if it does develop later next week. It will have the potential to organize further as it moves slowly through the Caribbean by the middle of next week. Area to watch next week for possible tropical development. In the 2005 season, Zeta was reached.

Orlando will reach a high Friday near 90 degrees, with a few scattered showers possible at 20%. We will start out in the 60s for the weekend, however, and warm into the low and mid-80s both Saturday and Sunday. We had no rain Thursday in Orlando, putting our surplus at 0.64 inches in 2020. Pinpointing the tropicsA broad non-tropical low pressure system is located about 600 miles east-southeast of Bermuda. Some gradual tropical or subtropical development of this system is possible through the middle of next week while it meanders over the central Atlantic well to the southeast of Bermuda.

ORLANDO, Fla. – How many systems in the tropics can the National Hurricane Center track at one time? The hurricane center was monitoring seven systems until Rene dissipated over the central Atlantic Monday afternoon. The latest advisory from the National Hurricane Center showed Sally’s wind speeds had jumped to 100 mph, making it a Category 2 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Here is the 5 p.m. advisory and forecast track from the National Hurricane Center. Hurricane Paulette, meanwhile, was moving north-northeastward away from Bermuda as a Category 2 hurricane Monday afternoon at 15 mph, packing 105-mph winds, according to the hurricane center.

The biggest threats were strong winds, storm surge, up to 6 inches (15 centimeters) of rain and life-threatening surf and rip currents. Tropical Storm Sally was inching up from Florida to the Gulf Coast and prompted a hurricane watch from Grand Isle, Louisiana, to the Florida-Alabama border. Storm surge from Sally was forecast to reach dangerous levels, due in part to the tide. A slow moving storm, Sally could produce rain totals up to 18 inches (46 centimeters) by the middle of the week, forecasters said. Once a tropical storm, Rene was down to depression status by Saturday night.

On the forecast track, the center of Teddy should move closer to the northwestern Newfoundland coast tonight and into the Labrador Sea on Thursday before merging with a larger extratropical low. By the Sea, Newfoundland (near the Cow Head Lighthouse) reported a barometric pressure of 979 mb (28.91 inches). SURF: Large swells generated by Teddy are affecting Bermuda, the Lesser Antilles, the Greater Antilles, the Bahamas, the east coast of the United States, and Atlantic Canada. WIND: Gusty winds are possible along the western coast of Newfoundland tonight.

MIAMI – Tropical Storm Sally formed Saturday off south Florida, becoming the earliest 18th-named storm on record in an Atlantic hurricane season as it enters the Gulf of Mexico amid signs of strengthening further. In the National Hurricane Center's 5 p.m. forecast, meteorologists said a hurricane watch is in effect for metropolitan New Orleans. A tropical storm watch has been extended westward from the Okaloosa/Walton County Line to the Alabama/Florida Border. Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Paulette had maximum sustained winds of 70 mph (110 kph) and was 460 miles (745 kilometers) southeast of Bermuda, where a hurricane watch and tropical storm warning are in effect. Tropical Storm Rene weakened in recent hours and was reclassified as a tropical depression.

If it moves into the Gulf, it may have a small opportunity to develop into something tropical prior to reaching Florida. Regardless of development, rain chances will remain elevated across Central Florida through the middle of the week as the system passes by. An area of low pressure has a low chance for development prior to reaching Florida. This forecast model depicts a better chance for tropical development beyond Florida. Either way, impacts should remain low to Florida, but something to note.

The depression is moving toward the east-northeast near 17 mph (28 km/h). On the forecast track, the center of the depression will move near or just northwest and north of Bermuda tonight and early Sunday. Little overall change in strength is likely, however the system could become a tropical storm later today. Land HazardsWind: Tropical Depression Five could cause gusty conditions on Bermuda and over the nearby waters later today or tonight. Rain: Tropical Depression Five is expected to produce total rain accumulations of less than 1 inch with possible isolated maximum amounts of 4 inches in and around Bermuda.

Cameron was cast in one of the starring roles in Pool of London, a 1951 crime noir movie that was the first British film to feature an interracial relationship. During the 1950s and 1960s, he supplemented his film work with frequent British TV roles, including two episodes of Doctor Who in 1966. Unless it was specified that this was a part for a Black actor, they would never consider a black actor for the part. I got mostly small parts, and that was extremely frustrating not just for me but for other Black actors. We had a very hard time getting worthwhile roles.In 1972, Cameron got to work alongside another Bahama-born actor who broke barriers for Black film actors.

We are almost to the end of the 2019 hurricane season. The tropics remain relatively quiet with the exception of one very weak wave of low pressure. Saturday morning, the National Hurricane Center highlighted this area as having a 20 percent chance to develop into something tropical over the next five days. If it gets a name it would be Sebastian, but that is unlikely at this point. Hurricane season ends Nov. 20.
