While more names may be crossed off the list, there will be no threat to Florida or the U.S.
An area south of Bermuda has the chance to develop sub-tropical characteristics over the next five days. Wind shear will limit development over the next 48 hours. The environment will become more conducive as the storms lifts northeast. As the cold front that will give Central Florida the coldest air of the season to date early next week moves out to sea, conditions will once again become unfavorable for development.
Another area of disturbed weather is expected to form in the far eastern Atlantic over the weekend. This system could also gain subtropical characteristics as it moves south and west of Portugal. A subtropical storm has both tropical and non-tropical characteristics, gaining strength from both warm ocean waters and differences in temperature.
The next storm name on the list is Kappa.
